Oct 11th - thru Oct 16th
This little mini-reunion started with one person coming to California to see Pat. The word spread and the next thing I knew, we had a total of 10 people. For awhile, I thought it was going to be a Group of 17 but business got in the way of FUN.. (click on the photos to enlarge. Everyone's full name is in the Group pix with the Ferry)
Oct 11th was "Arrival Day" with dinner re-scheduled for 7:00pm at the Baci Restaurant in Vallejo. Peggy Maratellos and Denair Modine had a bad day with their flights and ended up in Sacramento. Peggy's luggage was lost but found the next day. Tim Campbell and Pam Todd arrived around 10:00pm and missed dinner. Everyone else retired early..
1. Early Arrival was Jackie & Johnnie, 2. Pat, Johnnie & Enola 3. Johnnie, Anita, Linda and Jackie. How do you like the sign Enola Nelson made ?
Oct 12th activities had to be changed due to the weather. It rained all day on our Parade so we went to the Napa Valley Winery instead. Enola drove the Van and I drove my car so we were all very comfortable. The picnic lunch was in the car. hahahaha This is Beringer Vineyards in St. Helena, Ca.

After a horrid day with rain, we went to Benicia to Captain Blyther's for dinner. This is a Seafood restaurant on the Carquinez Straits. The view of the new bridge was gorgeous. Tim was the envy of all the men. One young man asked Tim, "What is your secret? How do you get 9 woman for dinner?" Tim replied, "Push Ups".. :)

Oct 13th was a beautiful day and we headed toward San Francisco to meet up with Wayne Overton and Claudia McAuthor. Lunch was at the Neptune on Pier 39 @ noon. Wayne arrived on his Harley and Claudia arrived late but we did get to chat & visit.

We all look pretty tired coming back to Vallejo on the Ferry. After lunch some went to Chinatown while others shopped.
Later that evening, everyone came to
Pat's house for pizza & wine. Claudia volunteered her Year Books & Photo
Album.. Thank You Claudia We had a great time.
Oct 14th we headed to Armstrong Redwoods State Park. As you can see the weather was on our side. Pam Todd & Tim Campbell had to leave us Sunday morning since they had to be at work early Monday morning. After relaxing at the Redwoods & visiting the Gift Shop we headed to the Ocean and Bodega Bay where the movie "The Birds" was filmed. We had an early dinner at the Tides but I do not have any pictures. (I am waiting to get more pictures from the girls)
