Camping Newbie

I have never been camping. I would like to think of myself as outdoors-y and adventurous and while I am I won't be winning any oudoor survival contests anytime soon. I like my little conforts like a warm room, a firm and plush bed and a glorious warm shower.

However, I have always wante to try it and I am finally making it happen this Easter. I am organizing my first camping trip and also my first trip the Cali's premier wine country.

I've spent a lot of time creating the itinerary as I am completely clueless about camping and about Napa. Thus I wanted share my efforts. But please wait for my post after I go so you know if my plans lived up to my excitement.
