Chris and I were in Napa Valley from April 7th-11th! We found a Living Social deal for the Ink House, a bed and breakfast in St. Helena, and decided it was time for a vacation. We had never been to Napa before and loved the wine tasting, town searching, shopping, and eating. We also enjoyed hanging around the Ink House which had a great wrap around porch that we liked to sit on and read. The weather was great when we were there, much nicer than Reno was at the time.

| The lovely Ink House |
 |
| Old barn out back, super cool and super creepy |
 |
| Pretty garden |
 |
| Good lighting for an impromptu photo shoot |
 |
| Even Chris thinks so |
|
|
 |
| On our second day, we visited one of the Rutherford wineries, and they had a rusted train... |
 |
| And we also went to Whitehall Lane, which was right next door to the Ink House |
|
|
 |
| On our third day we explored the old basement with the oooold piano |
 |
| And found wonderful street art. And we visited two wineries that day, Twomey and Tamber Bey, but I couldn't find any pics... |
|
|
 |
| On day four we decided to roam around the National Park |
 |
| It was lovely and had campgrounds. I'm not a camping kind of person, but this would be a fun place to go. |
 |
| And our last winery visit was at Tedeschi. It was by far our favorite! We got a tour and were served by the 21 year old son who runs the winery with his brother and dad. |
 |
| We learned how to cork bottles! |
 |
| And we got to pet a peacock! I can die now, my life goal is accomplished |
 |
| His name is Eddie, and he was so friendly |
 |
| But not as friendly as the chicken, Blondie |
 |
| So this was our room, Elvis stayed there while filming in the 60s, of course Chris wouldn't stop making Elvis jokes... |
 |
| I do love my floppy hat |
 |
| Dining room where we ate breakfast |
 |
| Living room |
 |
| Our port and sherry stash |

We had an awesome vacation and can't wait to get back, although there are some other places we need to try first:)
