We went had a great little get-away to San Francisco, Point Reyes, and Napa over Christmas break. First, we went up Coit Tower which has a great view of San Francisco and the bay. Then we drove to Golden Gate Park and had a picnic and played at the children's park. We then drove about an hour north to Point Reyes. There is a cool old lighthouse there. It was SUPER foggy when we got there. Jack counted every step as we walked back up the 300 steps from the lighthouse to the car. We drove east throgh some smaller roads to Napa and got dinner and found our hotel. The kids thought it was so fun to stay in the hotel and did what all kids do in a hotel room--jumped on the bed. The next day we explored Napa and several different wineries. Napa valley is beautiful. I loved how there was field after field of perfectly straight rows of grapes. We explored a castle winery and rode a tram up a hill to another one that provided greats views of the valley. The kids fell asleep in the car which was a life saver. We had a late lunch, rode a trolley around Napa, and even got to stop at a few outlet stores before heading home. One memory I have of this trip is that night when we pulled in to Palo Alto after 8:00pm we decided to continue to live it up and went to Red Mango for frozen yogurt. We just didn't want the fun to end.

That sounds like such a fun trip! I really love lighthouses. I love the picture of you Jordan and Jack. He looks so old. And his hair seems darker. That's funny about Jordan and her crib. Thomas is having a hard time not playing with toys in his bed at naps too.
Fun trip! I love the pictures! I need to check these blogs more often! I'm just so slow at everything. I'm going to post some someday--probably!
