Day 18 ~
Only a 3 hour drive today!
We moved farther down the California coast to Napa Valley. We visited a winery/Tuscan Castle today. Wow. I
don’t know what else to say. We wanted
to visit a winery in Napa, but wanted a kid friendly one. This was perfect. What kid doesn’t want to see a real castle?!
I will let pictures tell the story…..

We didn't bother with the hassle of buying wine because despite the awesomeness of the castle, our local wine is just as good or better. Don't get me wrong.....It was OK, it just wasn't fantastically different from what we have at home. We didn't have room for any souvenirs anyway! The cool experience was enough for us!
Tomorrow: San
Francisco
