Napa Day 5: Leisurely Efficient

We started out with our breakfast from Bouchon Bakery delivered to our doorstep at 8am. The plan was to take a bike ride through Napa Valley, our chosen path took us down HWY 29, and while we passed vineyards, we witnessed men and women harvesting the last remaining grapes of the season. We continued over streams, through parks and around cemetaries, George had all the cool moves, while I struggled at first. After arriving in Yountville, we parked and set out on foot to a local market, where we picked up lunch items for a picninc back at the cottage grounds.

After our picnic we decided to make our way 90 minutes west to Bodega Bay where as it turns out, Hithcock filmed the movie Birds. Ash saw the Pacific Ocean for the first time as we continued to drive up Hwy 1. We parked for pictures and ran along the sandy beaches for about 30 minutes. With the sun starting to set, we headed back down the Hwy toward Napa.

Another fantastic meal at Bistro Don Giovanni and great vacation day over all. A bike ride through Napa and a drive down the Pacific Coast, both were firsts and both followed this vacations theme of leisurly efficient.
