Napa: It's not a bad place.

A few weekends ago, we headed to Napa. There's this amazing dog park there. The following weekend we went again when Tim's friend from Chicago came into town.




I was pretty excited when I figured out how to make the water look like water.

This is pretty much Turkey's heaven.



There's this cool swing there, also.






We discovered this very Napa/Northern CA place to eat. It has all sorts of food stands with "local" and "organic" ingredients (of course). I'm not gonna lie, I liked it...especially the cupcake place.

Monterey

A couple weekends ago, we headed down to Monterey. Actually, I guess it was Valentine's weekend, but we didn't really realize this until we planned it all. We found a super cheap hotel about 1/2 hour away in Salinas that was having a winter special. It was $35.00/night. It was terrible. So bad, Tim wouldn't even shower. Now, granted he has a thing with showers, but still...

The first day we got there, we had some time so we found a couple thrift stores. Check it out on my other blog for deets on that.

It was my first time using my new fancy camera.

Highs: the aquarium, seeing a baby seal born right on the beach (photo below of baby and mama touching noses), and eating at a delicious fish restaurant.

Low: seeing the baby seal, about 2 minutes after being born, get taken out to sea by a wave.
