Napa Valley.. and WINE tasting!!

After leaving San Francisco, we continued on to Napa, California to see some wineries.  Our first stop was the Domaine Carneros Winery.It was very beautiful!

Even though we had three kids in tow, we were determined to do some wine tasting.. I mean, why else do you go to a winery?! So we did a quick tasting and we kept the kids entertained with sparkling grape juice (made at this very winery) and a yummy cheese and dried fruit platter!  Everything was VERY good!

Next stop, was the Beringer winery.  Beringer is Tal and my favorite wine and it is actually the oldest operating winery in the area.. It was even more beautiful than the first winery.  We all tasted a glass of wine here too, but we didn’t sit down and do a full tasting like we did at the first place.. however, it was free thanks to Barri and Tim joining the “wine club” and, of couse, the wine was awesome!  Aiden didn’t get to see much of this place.. he fell asleep on the way over and didn’t even wake up when we put him in the stroller.. he woke up shortly before we left, so I do have a couple pictures with an awake Aiden in them!

The kids were very tired by the time we headed home, but it really was an awesome day, and we have so many great memories and photos from the trip!
