Beautiful Napa

So far Zach and I have loved living in Napa. We are surrounded by gorgeous vineyards and beautiful flowers and vegetation. The vineyards are everywhere! Even small ones are squeezed in between stores on main street and in peoples side yards. We've enjoyed driving around and looking at them. All the wineries have big beautiful buildings that are fun to look at too. The weather here is amazing! It's usually in the 80's during the day and very cool at night. It is definitely something we will miss but not as much as we miss Utah! We are very excited to come home in a couple weeks. 

                                        

Last week we went to Discovery Kingdom. Is it a Six Flags theme park combined with a marine park. Unfortunately we forgot our camera so we didn't get any pics but we had a blast! We watched the dolphin and killer whale shows, saw sharks, walruses, sea lions and seals close up and also got to ride a few killer roller coasters. It was a fun day!

Never trust the internet.

Zach and I were really craving a good beach day so we looked up the beaches near Napa hoping to find a good one. We found one that said it had a great beach, perfect for swimming and playing on the beach. We were so excited so we plugged the address into our GPS and headed off ready for a great day of lounging on the sand and swimming in the ocean. But after driving an hour to get there, that's not exactly what we got. First of all, it wasn't really the ocean, it was a bay and was more of a swamp than a beach. The small area of shore that was there was completely made of rocks. Not to mention it was pretty cold weather. We tried to make the most of it and had a picnic and skipped rocks and then headed home. Our beach day didn't turn out too great, but at least it was an adventure and we got out of the apartment!
