Our bed and breakfast the Churchill Manor built in the late 1800's
A view of our room, it was really beautiful
Our first morning out we booked a hot air balloon ride over Napa, it was a great decision and a wonderful way to see Napa.
Drew and I in the basket over 1,000 feet in the air...a little scary
Napa sunrise from our balloon, incredible!

We took the Wine train across the valley and saw tones of vineyards while enjoying a delicious lunch.
On the wine train we stopped at Grgich Hills winery and got a tour and tasting.
The grapes
hundreds and hundreds of French oak wine barrels...they only cost $1,400 each!
On our last day in Napa we headed to "the Castles" our first stop was Castillo De Amerosa (The Castle of Love) it is an authentic Italian Renaissance castle made from stones of real castles and built the same way the old Italian castles would have been made.
The view from the castle
Drew's locked up, he's been causing trouble again!
My knight in shining armor
The torture chamber complete with authentic torturing devices.
A view from the castle after we headed to another "castle"
The gondola ride up to sterling vineyards
This castle is modeled after the Greek architecture and has a great view from the top of the hill
Drew and I the last outing on our trip to Napa
