5 Year Anniversary Trip

October 21st was our five year wedding anniversary and I insisted that we go on an adult vacation to celebrate the milestone! Devin suggested Vegas, but I had something more romantic in mind. So we drove to Sacramento, dropped off Kayla at my mom's house and the two of us went to spend a couple of nights in Napa Valley! We stayed at the Napa Inn, it was a beautiful Bed and Breakfast!

Welcome to the Roman Suite. It was the most expensive room, but oh so worth it!

We didn't have an agenda. So we just went on a leisurely drive up the Silverado Trail and enjoyed the spectacular views of the hillsides covered in grapevines!

Along the way, we stopped to explore a few wineries that looked interesting.

At Black Stallion Winery, they had an area where you could go out and sample the different kind of grapes right off the vine!

After a long day, we took advantage of the awesome jacuzzi in our room!

The next morning, we went to tour the Sterling Vineyards. I picked it because they have a tram ride that takes you up to a hilltop and I thought it'd be fun.

I was right and the views were amazing!

The self-guided tour taught us about the various stages of the wine-making process.

Next, we went to check out Chateau Montelena (famous from the movie Bottleshock).

This is Castello di Amorosa, a real life Medieval castle in Northern California!

Complete with a chapel and ancient grape-crushing machinery...

Thank you Paw-Paw, Bock-Gung, and Bock-Bock for taking care of Kayla. It was a great trip for all!
