Weekend in Napa

The Friday after Halloween we headed to Napa with friends! Stephanie was Cadie's 2nd and 3rd grade teacher who we all adore. She used a buddy pass recently traveling to the wedding of a friend and she was such a nonrev pro that we asked her and her friend, Zach, last minute if they wanted to come with us to Napa. They said Yes without hesitation! As usual, Grant planned an amazing trip. Every detail was wonderful.

On Friday we went into San Francisco and ate lunch at Boudin's sourdough bread. Then, we wandered around the peirs and saw the seals and went on a Harbor Cruise under the Golden Gate Bridge. The weather was windy, sunny, a tiny bit chilly, and perfect. We met Whitney and baby Wes for dinner near their house and then headed on to our hotel in Napa. 

Saturday was a full day tour in a fancy sprinter van that we had all to ourselves! We stopped at 4 vineyards and had an amazing picnic with food from The Girl and The Fig at Bouchaine where Stephanie laid in the grass in the sunshine after lunch. The vineyards we visited were Madonna Estates, Bouchaine, Laird Family Estate, and Domaine Chandon.

On Sunday we went to one more winery where we got a free tasting. We drove to Muir Woods and did a short hike and then to the airport to head back home. This was our second trip to Napa and we had such a nice time that Grant says he wants to make it an annual trip. Sounds good to me!
