I had never been to California, but our two weeks there were incredible. We enjoyed the good weather, family, and plenty of wine. Monterey, Napa, and San Francisco are truly gorgeous parts of this fine country.
Sadly, right after we got home and were dealing with our broken fence issues, the Napa Sonoma area was dealing with their own natural disaster of wild fires. It was good to hear once the fires had died out that some of the people we had met and places we had enjoyed were okay.
