To Do: Napa Valley...with Kids

We spent a day in Napa on Monday and loved every minute of it. Heading over there on a weekday was the first good decision of the day. Thanks to a few good reads and recommendations, there were a few more.

Good Decisions:

1. Taking the back roads. Lake Berryessa is the most beautiful shade of blue.

2. Stopping by Oakville Grocery to pick up yummy food for a picnic lunch (and eating it outside under the huge oak tree)

3. Picking up a 24-piece box of chocolates at Woodhouse Chocolates in St. Helena, instead of the usual 6 or 12 piece I typically opt for.

4. Driving north to Calistoga to view the "Geyser". Talk about going back in time!

Wish We Had:

1. Made it to Boon Fly Cafe for donuts before 11 a.m.

2. Stayed for dinner in Napa...the traffic back home was horrendous.

3. More time.
