Arty here today to tell you about my whirlwind visit to Napa Valley last weekend! It all started when I told Daddy he had been working too hard and needed to get away for a relaxing day away from the house!
This is the surprised look on my face when Mama said, since it was my
idea, I could come along while Jakey and Rosy went to camp for the day!
(...or maybe it was because I do better with the pawrents, than I do at camp...whichever)
I must say, I picked the pawfect weekend! The sun was out in full force when we made the 5 hour trip from our place to Wine Country! We even stopped at a nice rest area to stretch our paws. These itsy bitsy daisies were everywhere!
We arrived at the winery just in time for our wine tasting reservation.
I changed into my fancy winery cap and tie, then found us a table on the tasting room porch. I brought my own bottle of Rose wine to squeak drink and before I knew it, I found a new friend!
This is Fitzy, she was also there helping her pawrents pick up their wine. She was a very friendly girl and kept flirting with me! I told her about my best gal Mabel, and how I was going to be seeing her soon. I think she finally got the message, and went back to wine tasting with her pawrents :-)
As we all know Shih Tzus are master sommeliers! I snoofered lots of delicious notey smells coming from this full bodied red wine....
BOLBOLBOL!!
Just kidding!!!
I don't anything about wine but, I sure had my pawrents fooled!
We headed for the hotel after our afternoon of wine tasting, and relaxed, watched TV and I had a nice little walk before bedtime.
...and left early Sunday morning for a nice uneventful and sleepy ride home!
I had such a fun afternoon at the winery, and hope Mama and Daddy take me back there again soon!

ReplyDeleteWell, Arty I can't think of a better place for a wonderful get away. I'm glad you got to go along too. As it should be. A huge Awww.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday, Arty. My best to your peeps. ♥
I am thinking the reason you don't do well at day care is you KNOW you will get to go if you misbehave. got to be the reason. what a great day/night trip with just the 3 of you. yummy and fun
ReplyDeleteWe love your wine cap, Arty - very debonair!!! That looks like a great getaway for you and the peeps. Fitzy makes a nice friend, but we are happy you let her know that you were already spoken for:)

What a wonderful day trip! How could any girl resist you in that dapper hat and tie?? I was swooning myself.
ReplyDeleteWow Arty, you almost had me convinced there, about the Master Sommelier business!
ReplyDeleteGail tells me she visited a Napa Valley winery when travelling in California with a boyfriend in 1982. Which I find surprising as surely the Ice Age was not long over at the time...
Toodle pip!

Another great weekend away--although SHE shuddered at you on a white hotel bedspread! We have a problematic history with white stuff. You look very convincing and authoritative as a wine sommelier...
ReplyDeleteArty, you looked like you knew what you were doing sweetie! What a wonderful day and a good idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time you had Arty!! Can you believe we will be together in the furs very soon!!!!!
