Stinkerbelle, if you have not been to Napa I can't recommend enough that you go! It is an experience not to be missed.
We go to Napa and Sonoma every year, but this year it was extra special because we were celebrating our 12 year wedding anniversary. Room with a fireplace, roses that my sweet DH surprised me with...really lovely.
The food
is so fresh, and there is so much talent in the kitchens. The scenery is breathtaking...rolling hills of grapevines changing color...gasp! The roses everywhere were magnificent. The wine is so delicious. We are always looking for something special, different, things we can't find locally, and large format wines for the holidays and special occasions with family and friends. Mission accomplished!
We stayed a night in San Francisco. Once again, great food and so much to see and do. No time to shop and not too upset about it.
It was a beautiful, relaxing yet exhilerating trip. Sorry for the long post...I think I am still experiencing "Vacation Euphoria".
It is good to be back though!
