Point Reyes and Napa

One of our good friends at Stanford ran an Iron Man last weekend. An Iron Man race consists of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 mile run end-to-end. We thought a great way to show support would be to run it with him. Unfortunately, there was no way we'd survive it, so instead we went to the race and cheered him on. :) He did a really great job and we were happy to be able to support him.

The race was in Napa valley. We hadn't visited that area yet so we went up a day early to explore Point Reyes National Seashore, Sonoma, and Napa. All three of these places are BEAUTIFUL!

Here are some photos from Point Reyes. It was super windy and a little chilly, but beautiful nonetheless.

Exploring Napa and Sonoma was also really fun. It made us want to own a winery someday, but since we don't drink wine it wouldn't make a lot of sense. :) We did taste some great olive oils though. The pics below are from one of our stops - Viansa Winery.

From Napa we drove an hour north to the race at Lake Berrynessa. If you are ever going to come visit this are you should do it in the spring. All the green rolling hills are amazing and apparently everything goes brown later in the year.
