I decided to go and see the new Berkeley Art Museum-Pacific Film Archive and experience the exhibition they have going on until May 29, 2016, called the Architecture of Life. The purpose for my choosing this museum was I wanted to go to a museum that I had never been to before. My drive down there from Winters, Ca. was interesting to say the least. Just as I got on the first bridge westbound on I-80 I heard a noise. At first I thought it was nothing but road noise from the different pavement I was driving on. As most of you that will be reading this post are aware of when driving to the Bay Area one must pay attention to all the others vehicles around you especially in heavy traffic. Also, there is no shoulder off the highway to pull on to in the event one may need to. This day the traffic was heavy and the closer I got to the Bay area the slower the vehicles were moving and impatient drivers were darting through the lanes.

Taking a Break in Napa Valley

A friend of mine named Larry stopped by my home and the two of us decided to take a drive up to Napa Valley and celebrate my decision on changing my major at Sacramento State University. Larry knew I had been struggling with trying to make the decision but with that now behind me it was time to relax. I had the luxury of being with a friend that had listened to me without voicing his opinion until I had arrived at decision on my own. Out the door we went with the sun shining gloriously as we began our adventure for the day.

To my surprise when we arrived in Napa Valley Larry headed straight for the Robert Mondavi Winery saying he had a surprise for me. This was a winery I had never been to before and was excited to see what was in store for me.
