We've been meaning to explore Napa Valley for quite some time. So, on Saturday we set out on a beautiful drive through the many vineyards.
The Jack London State Park is in Sonoma. The above picture is a the remains of Jack London's dream house. About a month before he and his wife were set to move in there was a fire and the inside was destroyed. A few years later Jack London died and his wife didn't try to rebuild the "wolf house".
Jack London requested his ashes be scattered atop a knoll near his dream "wolf house" with a bolder from the house placed on top of the ashes. His wife's ashes were also scattered here.

The cottage was my favorite part of the estate. I loved his writing area. The library was in a room full of windows that overlooked the vineyard.
Jack London spent summer evenings in the back of the cottage. It is a covered porch with beautiful views.

I love California poppies. The Jack London garden is covered with them
