On our way to visit the Van Straaten's in Napa Valley,CA

Napa Valley is about 6 hours drive from Los Angeles. Andrew and I climbed in the car at 7 in the evening and went for it so that we wouldn't have to waste the next day driving up. The trip was really beautiful, and the sun stays up for a long time in the summer.

The ground in the valleys are extremely fertile and there is much farming land on the route up there.

Halfway we stopped at a truck stop town to get some much needed coffee and to update our dear friends in Napa of our progress. They had insisted on waiting up for us so we were eager to get there as soon as was possible! We really have missed the Van Straaten family since Anton Graduated and was called to a church up there.

We arrived at 1 or so in the morning, chatted for a few minutes and then went to bed so that we would be functioning again in the morning! We are in store for a wonderful weekend! So great to see you Anton, Marietjie, Naomi and Olivia!
