Mountains, Palm Trees, and Oceans oh my

After a long awaited and talked about few months I have finally arrived in California.  I flew into San Francisco today and am spending the night in Benicia until my drive to the CIA in St. Helena tomorrow. I spent the day basically taking a driving tour of San Francisco. We stopped for lunch in the Ferry building. It is definitely a place I would like to visit again. It was full of all different types of restaurants, cafes, cheese and chocolate stores, seafood companies, kitchen supply stores, anything and everything a person can think of around food.  Basically a one stop shop for a food enthusiast. After lunch we crossed the Bay bridge and headed back to Benicia for a little relaxation, dinner, and to wait for my car to be delivered from Chicago (surprise surprise it is yet to show up).

Its been a long day of travel and I want to be rested so I can move in to my room tomorrow. Can't wait to finally arrive in Napa!
