camping in Calistoga

This past weekend, Phillip and I went camping in Calistoga with some of our dearest friends, their 3 awesome kids, and our friends parents! Although the heat was scorching, we managed to make the best out of it, and ended up having a really great time! We set up camp at Bothe state park in Calistoga, and spent our days walking around wine country, and enjoying some of the beautiful winery grounds! Although i don't think i stopped sweating the whole weekend, somehow all the prettiness that surrounded us every day made up for it. I love that we get to live so close to so many beautiful and fun places! theres always something new to explore and enjoy! Even though i had been to Napa Valley several times, this was my first time camping here and i would definitely do it again! bring great friends, set up a great campsite, and you are bound to have a fantastic time! heres a few pictures from our weekend getaway! ps. i lost the charger to my good camera so for now, all i have are these iPhone pictures :(
