Napa Valley

This last weekend Gene and I spent some time in the Napa Valley. We had so much fun. The weather was sooo nice, and the rolling hillsides were beautiful. We left early friday morning, and picked up our cake at the bakery. Every year we get our wedding cake top made ,mmm so good, but this year we decided to make it a little different and we got a chocolate lady finger cake with chocolate buttercream filling,covered in berries. It tasted exactly the way I was thinking it would, absolutely delicious. he hee. Anyways after the bakery we were off to a beautiful picnic spot for lunch, and after that we were going to spend the rest of the day at the spa. It was soooooo wonderful, and beautiful, the employees were so kind and even gave us free smoothies for our anniversary as we layed out by the pool. It felt so nice to just relax and not have to think about anything or do anything but just enjoy one anothers company. After the spa at like 8:30 pm, we drove to the little town of Windsor where we stayed the night. The place was great our room was like a little appartment, it had a full kitchen, and living room with a fire place, and there was a hot tub right outside our sliding glass door. it was sooo nice. The next day we drove all over, first to my favorite spot of the day the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone, in Calistoga. It was super fun, they had cooking demonstration, tours, a great store, and of course an amazing restaurant were Gene and I just had to have lunch. Gene got a steak, and it was the best steak I have ever had, my halibut was awsome too, and the dessert couldn't have been better, we had to get two, they even wrote Happy Anniversary on the plates. After our bellies were so full we couldn't move we decided to head to the redwood forest, and then to the beach to walk around and watch the sunset. It was sooo much fun and a weekend I will always remember. Thanks Babe for being so wonderful to me!
