I think this is the first time I've seen both your parents in the same video. ❤ You did an excellent job showing several kid friendly spots for parents to take their kids too. I can understand how hard that can be, especially to winery's.

@California Through My Lens My grandparents on both sides lived there, so going to train town over the last 55 years was always a go-to spot. They also have a big park in the center of town, and the mission is right there. Also, La Casa is a great place across from the mission to get a great meal. 👍

Thank you for sharing time with everyone. You do a great job telling us what we would see. We will never make it to Cali at our age. Your mother has a great sense of humor in the other videos. Yes, mother can make fun of our kids. Tell her "hi". She seems like a person we could be friends with, just so nice. Take it easy, and can't wait to see more of them. Paul and Janie Williams, Ohio

Wow I think this is the first video I remember with all six of you. The kids are getting so big. And it looks like Napa had something for everyone. I love oysters so will have to check out that market to get some. Best place I ever had them was in Westport WA on the way up hwy 101 to Olympic national park on the last road trip with my dad before he died. I so want to take my mom there. She is the one who taught me to love oysters. I know she’d love it. Cash only business but they have great fresh food and bbq oysters is their specialty

Lots of open space for the kids to play. Russian River even has happy hour with live music on certain days and serves food. Huge trees on the property provide great shade on hot days.

@1:25 V.Sattui winery in Helena is our longtime favorite as well, it has a wonderful deli (sometimes BBQ truck) and great shaded grassy area w/ picnic tables to eat w/ family... and, you do NOT have to reserve wine tasting, you can simply buy a panini or some antipasta, or bread&cheese etc, and eat! Enjoy view of vineyards to south, next to the highway, and if you are lucky, the Wine Train will chug & toot by as you eat! Pretty building and courtyard and flower gardens behind as well (sadly the giant oak in courtyard was damaged by this winter storms.) Gott's would be the other food recommendation, WOW it is always packed on wkends!! empty!?

other nice wineries maybe kids, would be Sterling on the hill in Calistoga, has a view and kids might enjoy the gondola ride... but, it was damaged during recent fires, rebuilding. Chatea Montelena just past Old Faithful has a gorgeous little lake w/ flower trees and asian pagodas on islands... adults only for tasting reservations, but you can maybe take quick walk around the lake. For hiking, and some swimming pool summer weekends, check out Bothe-Napa Valley State Park (right near the Grist Mill), some nice tails along little creek. If you want a real adventure for kids (and adults), Safari West has real African animals to see, and cabins/glamping tents you can stay overnight.. $$ but unique.

Napa/Sonoma isn’t expensive z. Just ask the ones of use whom live in the area. We have two young kids. We’d be be happy to give yours some suggestions than don’t cost $45 for wine tastings. Also, swing by Old Sugar Mill and the wineries in the Lodi area. “7 Deadly Zins” is very good.
