Napa Valley

We took a wonderful trip to San Francisco and Napa Valley in March. We went with our dear friends Brent and Holly and Lindsey and her boyfriend Brad. We stayed at our favorite San Francisco hotel, the Clift on the first night then headed inland for two nights in Napa for some relaxation and declicious wine, of course!

In the giant chair in the lobby of my favorite hotel, the Clift in San Francisco.

In the limo.....clearly Brian was a willing participant:)  He's probably going to wish he hadn't been picking his nose.
Darioush...our favorite Napa winery.  We discovered Darioush on our first trip to Napa several years ago and had to make a repeat visit.  It's Iranian, it's beautiful, and they have a great tasting experience.
Bell winery........ahhhhh.
Having a little fun.
The vineyards are so pretty.  They were just preparing the vines for spring.

Things may have gotten a little silly by the last winery of the day;)

Opus One......we LOVE their wine....it's FANTASTIC!!!

This, however, is how we felt about the attitude of the winery employees.

Brent and Holly on the Sterling gondola.

Lindsey and Holly in the limo.  Champagne is needed between wineries, right?!?

I loved this door at Rombauer.  Rombauer had the most beautiful gardens and picnic areas around the winery.

At the end of the trip we returned to San Francisco and were able to witness this fabulous street dance in China Town.

On those beautiful, warm California beaches. 

It was a fabulous trip with fabulous friends!
