June 26 is an important VU birthday. @gopher_byrd is a beloved and valued member of the forum for his response to new members; his participation in many threads celebrating vapers' milestones, vaperversaries, birthdays; his sharing of his master gardener skills, his humor, support and friendship. Happy birthday Gopher_Byrd! We are taking you to Jacks Wild Wine Estate for a picnic, a formal dinner party, and a cozy overnight stay in the B&B rooms there.
Here we come, around the bend on the winery road. Some of us opted for air travel. @gloopdegurp can be seen calmly piloting his plane to bring the birthday banner. His wheels are down, almost time to land. @SnapDragon NY rides her dragon pony. @2WhiteWolves has her car loaded with party supplies. She gave @misswish a ride. Goph borrowed his transport from the caddy shack back home. @Jimi gave @Heartsdelight a ride. @Freyja has her own way of getting around. We try not to ask her too many questions. We can't wait for everyone to arrive so the party can begin.

We've arrived at the entrance of Jacks Wild Wine Estate including vineyards, restaurant, shop, bed & breakfast accommodations, wine cellars, tasting room and picnic grounds. We have decorated the entrance in the colors of wine for Goph's celebration. The valet will park your car.

As Goph and his friends arrive, a picnic lunch by the rock pool will refresh us. We didn't know Jimi was a two fisted drinker. Freyja appears to be enjoying herself in one of the inflatables you can take out.

This is a good time for birthday songs.
And we have cake and cake and cake, enough for lunch, snacks, dinner tonight, and breakfast in the morning. Look closely to see the appellation label on our souvenir bottles of Goph's birthday wine. This is no slouch either. This is the winery's best.


Everybody relax and enjoy. We have a beautiful day ahead of us to celebrate, snack, swim and hike. Later we'll have a dinner party before retiring to our reserved rooms at the winery's Bed & Breakfast.
