There was a bit of drama because their plane was late leaving from Miami and it looked like they would miss their connection and end up coming a day late. But SRM remember to say her prayers to the Magical Unicorn Pony Travel God so they ended up making their connection after all.

Then since we couldn't climb, we took the convenient road and drove to the top of the mountain. 54 degrees leaving town and 34 on the top.
The camera folk all in action

Always something cool to see up in the mountain - Tree roots exposed because of erosion.

Many a cheese was lost getting these pictures to you.
As were there vegetable and fruit allies :(
Certainly SRM and Andrew are worthy of a 1998 Oregon Pinot Noir

I'm glad you thought of something to do while SRM and Andrew were in town.
I have huge envy over the 98 Pinot noir!
Fear not youngest one - old vintages await the intrepid new mother and father who, small carnivorous fish in tow, cross ocean and continent to visit de-I
hurrah!! Can't wait :)
Looks like you were never at a loss for some form of entertainment in spite of leg injuries and illnesses!
You can't go wrong with food, family, drinks, and scenery!
Those cocktails will not soon be forgotten. Nor will I forget all those great cheeses. We sure enjoyed the last of it in our sandwiches on the plane!
RM, I wonder if your fellow travelers appreciated the cheesy smell as much as you did?
Mmmmmm......cheese and wine!
