Film, Wine, Beer, Paint, and Sparkling

I spent some time in Napa filming inside Spa Terra and at The Meritage pool, before heading to Spelletich Family Wines for a wine tasting event with the Crusher Wine District (about 10 wineries all within walking distance of The Meritage). Once back in Roseville I went to Out of Bounds Brewing with my dad for a tour and some great tasting beers, before having dinner at Boneshaker Community Brewery (I needed wine by that point in the evening), a lamb burger and Mac 'n Cheese with Beets was a fun twist too. On Sunday I was with my mom, we watched as David Garibaldi painted an inspiring portrait of Jesus and a child at Bayside Blue Oaks , before heading to Early Toast for mimosas and omelets. Photos for those with iPads .

Toronto, River Cats, and Soccer

I did a lot in eight days. I flew to Toronto for an event with Visit California . While in Toronto I explored the city as quickly as possible using the TTC (subway and buses) and the Toronto City Pass , plus a hop-on, hop-off bus tour to get some more history and facts about the city. In the span of less than three days I crisscrossed the city and saw Casa Loma , the Royal Ontario Museum , the Ontario Science Center , the Toronto Zoo , St. Lawrence Market , CN Tower , went out on Lake Ontario , walked China town, went to a Toronto Blue Jays game ( they beat the Yankees ), plus got lots of work done, and had a great time meeting the Canadian media at the Visit California media event . For food, I tried to eat healthy with a variety of salads and fruits, but I also had to taste a few Toronto favorites, including a Peameal Bacon sandwich and poutine . Once back in the USA, my parents and I were able to go see Hunter Pence from the San Francisco Giants play with the Sacramento Rive
