Napa Vacation Starts Sunday

Flying out of Greensboro Sunday morning and will land in San Francisco at noon (PST) after a short layover in Chicago. We're staying as guests of one of the wineries for 4 days and then spending 3 days in San Francisco before flying home next Saturday.

I lived in Napa for about a year and a half in 75-76 after I came back from SE Asia, before there were hundreds of wineries and before it got so commercial. We're fortunate to have some private tours and tastings at a few other wineries and will even get some private culinary lessons in one of the kitchens.

Taking a 4-hour hot air balloon ride at sunrise through the Napa Valley Monday morning which should make for some awesome pictures. Might actually shoot a few with our Panther swag on and have them published in the Roar. Done that a couple times from the Caribbean in the past.

My first vacation in over a year and I'm used to taking a couple every year. But since my dog was run over almost a year ago, his surgery and recovery now complete and all I want to do everyday is come home and see him. You'd think nothing ever happened to him now.

Excellent. I have never been to Napa but spent some time in Sonoma this year and just returned from a four-day trip to the Finger Lakes to take in lots of Riesling, Gewurz, Ices, and improving reds at the Finger Lakes.

Glad your dog has recovered and your able to get out for a vacation. Would love a report on the places you visited when you get back.

I'd have to hit Yosemite if I was that close.

Yeah, love Yosemite, but haven't been there since my little brother died in a climbing accident on El Capitan when he was 20 years old. That was in 1980 and still don't want to relive that.

do yourself a favor and do the Alcatraz tour....you'll love it

Yeas, done it a few times and find it absolutely fascinating. They do night tours now, but they're booked solid weeks in advance.

Since all of us have been to SF and 2 of us have extensive Napa experience, we're going to do the non-tourist stuff, the off-the-wall places to see... I really want to see the America's Cup catamarans- they look unbelievable... and the Cup will be won by the US in SF Bay next year.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
