As random and last minute addition to the itinerary we took a trip up to Newton to fill a open time slot before our dinner at “The Laundry”   The drive up was unbelievable – actually being up on Spring Mountain just over the hill from Spring Mountain Vineyard which we visited during our HoneyMoon trip.   The terracing of the vines up the mountains was very beautiful.   The tour guide was new – only been with Newton for 3 weeks (a very bad sign) spend the tour reading from flash cards and repeating every 5 and 6 times.  I would rather stick my finger in my eye than endure that tour again.  Very painful.  The drive back down the hill was again breath taking.  Great photos.
