Napa Drive

Dave, Ania, and I had a nice lunch at the Rutherford Grill in the Napa Valley, then drove up Howell Mountain road to an orchard we know that, if you're lucky, may be found ablaze with thousands of poppies.  Unfortunately, there were only a very few in bloom that day, but Ania made a pretty crown out of some of the other flowers there.
PHOTO SUMMARY: Napa drive
We headed past the town of Angwin out Pope Valley Road, then turned left along the southwest shore of Lake Berryessa, taking what eventually became Morgan Valley Road.  It was definitely the long way, but it was a gorgeous day, and we weren't in a hurry.  We ended up in Clear Lake, walked around a bit, then headed home via 29 past Calistoga and down the Silverado Trail, a shorter route.  Ania had a blast driving the curvy roads, and when I wasn't holding on for dear life, Wink I captured some of it on video.
