And we drank some wine: Napa Valley #

7.25.2011

Our trip to Napa was one of my favorites of the whole trip. I don't know if that's because of the weather, the scenery, the wine, or the company, but I'm pretty sure it was all of the above.

We originally wanted to do a hot air balloon ride, but we are going to do that another trip in the future. We started off our day at the famous Napa Valley sign and then stopped at Beringer.

Our next stop was at Robert Mondavi thanks to the wonderful recommendation from Jenn. It was absolutely beautiful and the wine was amazingggg.

We made a friend. :)

After our tour, we headed over to Artesa. Thank you so much Kate for the recommendation. This place was absolutely GORGEOUS. It was modern, and the views were out of this world.

After all that wine, we were starving. We stopped at the Boon Fly Cafe right down the road from Artesa. I highly recommend you stop here if you are ever in the area. The food was delicious.

Next stop and the last stop of our vacation: San Francisco.

    I wonder if any of those vineyard owners have hot young sons? eh who am I kidding... with all that wine he could be a troll and I'd marry him.

    You are such a lucky lady! what an amazing looking trip!

    And I like this one and I like this one and I like this one. Literally, that's what I thought as I read this post and looked at all of these gorgeous pictures. I especially love the one of the lady bug. Would you ever sell that image? To a lovely little me? Because I think it would be a great one to frame for my new home :)
