A couple weeks ago I was lucky enough to travel to San Francisco and Sonoma with my girlfriends from UVa -- Cheryl, Lauren, Danielle, and Jenn. As we all turned 30 this year, we decided we needed to do something to celebrate together. What could be more perfect than the wineries and spas of Northern California?!? We had a fabulous weekend talking, laughing, drinking wine, eating cheese, relaxing, and celebrating each other and our friendships. Although it was easy enough for me to pick up and head out for the weekend (especially since Joe was heading to Notre Dame for a football game), the rest of the girls left behind their husbands (and one mother-in-law) to take care of their babies without them. Thanks to all the guys for making this possible!
We spent 1 night in San Franscisco as we all gathered from across the country, and we set off for wine country on Friday morning after breakfast at the Buena Vista. We had wonderful clear weather on Thursday and Friday, and some rain on Saturday. This worked out well as we spent most of Saturday morning at the spa anyway! On our drive through Napa and Sonoma we stopped at several wineries ranging from small to very commercial. We worked our way north to the darling town of Healdsburg, and we stayed in a beautiful house in the hills above Healdsburg. The views of the valley were amazing!
What a wonderful weekend catching up, sharing stories, recounting college memories, and creating new memories. We are already brainstorming about where we should plan our next get-togther!
