Napa to Monterey We departed Napa on a Friday morning and took three days to get to Anaheim. On the first day we drove from Napa to Monterey. On the second day we made it to Santa Barbara, then arrived at Anaheim on Sunday. The trip from Napa to Monterey...
Our last day in Napa we headed back to San Fransico for a guided sunset tour of the Point Bonita Lighthouse, which is located at the entrance to the San Francisco Bay. We were hoping to get a good view of the Golden Gate Bridge too, but once again, it...
Our twelve-day stay in Napa, California was a pleasant surprise. As I mentioned in a previous post, we chose this location because we had some days we could spend at any Wyndham Resort and this one happened to be close to our California travel route. There are several things I...
One of the adventures while the kids were here was to visit the Castello di Amorosa (Castle of Love), a winery located near Calistoga, California.

Four days ago, on Saturday morning, we packed up the car and left McKinleyville headed south. Our next destination … Napa! However, we had several adventures planned on the way, beginning with the Avenue of the Giants. The Avenue of the Giants is a popular 31-mile scenic drive lined by...
