One of the great things about living in Northern California is that an impromptu day trip to Napa can be taken at any time. Wilson's sister invited us to go to Napa with them for a day and we jumped at the chance to take advantage of the beautiful weather we've been having. We invited another couple that we are good friends with and it ended up ( Read more... )

You should try to make it some time. It's really beautiful in the spring because everything is green.

What about fall? We've talked about going for our anniversary (end of september).

Fall is pretty nice too since they harvest around that time. Some wineries will let you stomp grapes (Only for fun though. They don't actually use it.)and let you taste some right off the vine. It won't be green since the summer basically dries everything up. It's still pretty though and a great experience. You could also think about going to Sonoma as well.

Homesick!:-) What a great trip!

My first job was at the nine west outlet in the shopping center you went to - I worked there for two years in high school!

Yup, I hit the Nine West outlet on Saturday. It's always been my dream to live in Napa because it's so beautiful. Maybe I could retire there.

Looks like so much fun and your lunch is making MY mouth water.

How fun! I love the interior shot of the winery that you posted. Mr. T & I have never been wine tasting. Shame on us since we're also very close to the wine country.

Congrats to your friend!

Ahhhhh, your post took me back to our honeymoon. We spent it in Napa. It was my first time there and I loved it! I was even talking about it last night with a friend and saying how much I'd love to go back. How great that you live so close its an easy day-trip!! There's really nothing better than a picnic there with just good bread, cheese, thinly sliced meat and WINE. Mmmmmm!
