A Trip to Wine Country

Every few years, my girlfriends and I like to take a 'girls trip.' We've all been friends for over 20 years and make a point to continually stay connected with each other.

We had many impromptu trips in our 20's, but since we hit our 30's, we are making more of an effort to plan a fun trip, usually some distance away.

Three and a half years ago, we went to Las Vegas. It was absolutely wonderful, and was just what I needed at the time, considering my 11 year relationship was falling apart.

This years trip was planned many moons ago when my BFF and I decided we wanted to go somewhere special on the 30th year anniversary of our friendship. We started planning it almost 8 months ago and decided, WINE COUNTRY.

We knew the hubbies wouldn't want to come, so we decided to invite our other 3 girlfriends and make it our 'every 2-3 years Girls Trip.'

We stayed at the beautiful River Terrace Inn in Napa, California for 5 days and 4 nights.

We visited the spectacular Castello di Amorosa winery. Enjoyed many fine wines, and purchased many bottles.

We rode the Napa Valley Wine Train and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the valley, as well as a fantastic 4 course meal.

We shopped, ate, drank wine, and relaxed on our last day in Napa at the Greenhaus European Day Spa.

It was a perfect vacation, and a nice break from my busy life as a mom.
