Our Get-A-Way

We are winos
We are foodies.

We are in Napa.

(and cue angels singing)

We are in heaven!

We visited Napa almost two years ago (see pics from that trip here) and fell in love with the whole experience. After Lainey's tough summer, Mom and Dad are in need of some rest and FUN! We thought as we prepare for RSV/Flu season, we should get away while she's well and take time to just be with each other. Our moms and sisters have made this possible for us and we are SO grateful. We owe them BIG time!!! Really, what a gift they have given us.

Yes, Lainey (and Nat) needed some fun too so they got it! I'll post pics about their fun later;)

So, day one started off with one hour of sleep and a 6:30 a.m. departure flight. Three flights and two planes later (it was a beating but hey, they are FREE) we arrive in CA before 11 a.m. (STILL!).

We had a great first (half) day and even had an "experience" on the first day...you know, those little unexpected finds you come across that totally make your trip memorable. Wait! We had TWO of those! Ahhhhhh...and still two full days to go.

My mom and dad had an experience here many, many years ago.

So we had to check it out, for sentimental reasons:)

My big, fancy camera stinks!

Ok, I think I'm a little out of practice and no editing software on Kev's computer so bear with me!

It's all still so beautiful...

It's harvest time in Napa right now, a lot of the grapes are still full on the vine.

Until Swiper swipes them!

...Swiper, nooo swiping!

(yes, we do miss the kids;))

..and now I'm singing Dora...

Here we are blissful and about to be surprised by our next find...

Experience Number One...

There was a wedding about to start and it was picture perfect.

I didn't get a pic of that but here is part of the winery where the wedding was taking place.

Then on to our next experience.

A locals fav that a guy on the plane told us about...
now one of my favorites!

Again, my camera st...ok, III... stink at using my camera but the colors and decor were so charming...kind of vintage black and white mixed with bright fun colors and flowers.

Yeah, you really can't tell at all from this pic what I'm talking about...
oh well, my brain took a picture;)

Now on to DAY TWO...beautiful blue skies and a high of 78 awaits us:)
