At a school auction we won a two-night stay at the Sonoma Mission Inn. It was a nice place to visit, but to visit it we had to make our way through miserable traffic caused by a man threatening to jump from the Richmond/San Rafael Bridge. The eastbound lanes were closed from about noon on Friday to 7:00 am on Saturday. Traffic on the Black Point Cutoff was virtually stopped. We went up to 116 and found that traffic very slow.
We had to take the cat because we had no one to feed her. I think she was traumatized by the three-hour trip. She spent some time inside a pillow and then his under the bed until about 1:30 am, when she came out and jumped on the bed.
Saturday, we had a nice ride on the Napa Valley Wine Train. All the people on our car were getting off at Grgich for a winery tour. We had the salad and entree on the northbound train. The tour was educational, and we got to taste a bottle of wine that sells for $220. We had desert on the southbound train.
The cat was happy because the drive back on Sunday took a little over an hour.
