a day everything went right
Life has ups and downs, high and lows. Sometimes you feel as if you are on top of the world, other times you feel as if everyone and everything has turned against you. It is not very often that I feel as if I'm on top of the world or that things go my way for that matter. I recall a day when everything went as I expected. Everything seemed to go smoothly it was a day when everything went right.

The next morning,I got up early to get ready for the day ahead of me. My mom and I packed a few things to make sandwiches and some fruit among other things for a picnic, and we were on our way to Napa Valley. The one and a half hour car drive went smooth there was no traffic, and it was a great opportunity to chat with each other. As we got into Napa, we stopped at a few nice places to take pictures, before meeting with my cousins and arriving at our destination.
We finally arrived at Castello di Amorosa a Tuscan style castle and winery where we met my cousins. We started off with a guided tour of the castle where we learned about the architecture and different styles of the castle, got to enjoy the breathtaking views from the towers of the castle and got to see different tunnels, wine cellars and even the torture room. Our tour ended in the cool basement of the castle where we got to sample some italian wines including my favorite sparkling dessert wine La Fantasia. Our next stop was Sterling vineyards; This was my fist time at this winery so I had no idea what to expect. We took a gondola to the actual winery which sat on top of a giant hill. The views on
