While our friends Bob and Stephen were in town this past week, we decided to take a trip to the gold country to do some wine tasting and a tour of the Sutter Creek Gold Mine. Here are a few pictures from the day…

First, it’s always a good idea to have some wine, especially if you have somehow injured your left foot and can barely walk on it, like I did.

We stopped by the Sutter Creek Wine Tasting house, and Travis Brown, the Pouring Wench, delighted us with wines from various spots around the county.

Of course we had to buy a few (ok, a lot) bottles, and joined the wine club as well…I mean seriously, how can you go to a winery and not buy a heaping helping of wine? I’ve even tried the patch, but it doesn’t work.

After a glass or two (or three or four) of wine, we decided to check out the town, and get some lunch at the Sutter Creek Palace Restaurant and Saloon (since 1884 even).

Yummy food, and three of us had the seafood sandwich - apparently the most popular item on the menu. Who knew that seafood was the lunch of choice for Sutter Creek visitors? Not me.

But enough about Sutter Creek the town, what you really wanted to see what how sassy I look in a hard hat right?

Pretty scary huh?

Here are more pictures from the trip to Sutter Creek.
