One Day in Napa

Napa Valley. 

What can I say? If you have been here you know it, if you haven't you might as well know it. Yet, in the end you still never fully know this place. I have been here a few times and every time it is a new experience. Napa Valley is special to me and my man. It is only an hour away from where we live, and makes us happy every time we visit. It brings back memories, reminds us of our special day, and also brings joy to our current life. As if this wine region can magically brighten our days; or maybe it can. I would say the different wines one can actually try and buy makes this place special; and the great restaurants and breathtaking views of course!

When we go to Napa besides the wine tasting {if we end up doing that, it varies} we always stop by Kara's Cupcakes and get a few yummy ones. Their gluten free cupcakes are to die for. I kid you not. I have tried so many and they were all okay, but Kara's? Yes, please! 

Cannot wait to go back soon. A trip to the wine country is always fun. Wish next time our friends can come visit and we can all go again. There's hope. Fingers crossed.

Have a fantastic day.

Lately....

Last weekend my man and I went to Jackson. His family spent a few days up there so they thought it would be a great idea for us two to join them. Also, we both needed some time away from Sacramento, and away from everything so what better way to go to a very close wine country and tasting wine? Exactly my point, nothing {unless you can't stand wine}.

We had a blast. It was a very mellow weekend. I enjoyed cuddling with two cats and two dogs, walking around and soaking up in the jacuzzi. Also, wine tasting wasn't that shabby either. We bought a few bottles, I made my famous potato salad for everyone while my man took responsibility in preparing the meat. I know that is his job, so not mine.

What bothered me most was that my card got declined while I was trying to purchase bottles of wine. I was very shocked and kind of mad. Luckily, we have other cards but it got me worried all weekend. Calling the bank made it worse because all they said was to come in Monday {I did and we fixed the issue, I hope}. Also, by not having a card this week to buy anything I literally worked on other things, helped my guy prepare for his interview{s}, and go fall shopping. I also got my 2nd StitchFix selection in and they nailed it big time. I am the happiest girl ever. I kept three things and I am so stoked it's not even funny. 

Halloween is pretty much around the corner...not to mention Thanksgiving. I am making dessert and I am testing everything before I even try making something. It's been a challenge especially since it needs to be gluten free. Also, I can't wait to see my friend on Sunday where both of my favorite things come together: San Francisco and my friend M. Win win!!!

What have you been up to lately?
