A Napa Get away recap!

We are back and we had SO MUCH FUN!  I got Kit all to myself and we just had the best time being together, eating amazing food, staying in a beautiful place, and just enjoying some much needed alone time♥.

Here are a few highlights!

This was the first plane ride I have taken since 2008.  I was really excited and even though it was a short flight, that made it feel even more like a vacation!

The first place we ate was Gott's burgers:
It was so good!

Get the garlic fries, they were amazing!
Before heading to our resort, we walked around St. Helena.
This town has become a favorite of ours and we are so excited to go back!

Then we headed to Calistoga Ranch Resort and Spa, in Calistoga.
Our porch:

Complete with fireplace:
(We had so many great conversations out here!

 

Our room:
Waiting for us was a bottle of champagne and a chocolate mousse in celebration of our anniversary.

It had an outdoor shower.  
Yep.  We LOVED this place! 

We ordered room service our first night:

And talked by the fire:

The next day we started our day at the spa's steam room and pools:

 

To say that we were relaxed was a HUGE understatement...
We had brunch at French Blue in St. Helena:

French Blue's version of a bloody mary:
It was so tasty! 

We walked around the town and just had the best time relaxing and not feeling rushed!

We checked out the Culinary Institute of America:

 

Then we headed back to our place to get ready for dinner at Botega in Yountville:          
It was so fun to get dressed up!

(The resort lends cars out on a first come first serve basis FOR FREE, so we enjhoyed an evening with a Mercedes E550 CONVERTIBLE!
Sunset, In Napa Valley, in a convertible...
It was the best ride ever...

Botega was amazing!

Then we headed to the store for some in room snacks:
(Dear Lord, we were in heaven!)

 

Then, what do you do when you have just eaten dinner, and you have a bag full of tasty snacks?  You go for cocktails!
Yep, we rolled ourselves to Goose and Gander in St. Helena and sat tucked away with fun drinks in a leather tufted booth, feeling so connected and enjoying each other's company!

We ordered this scallop appetizer.
Between a chili cream sauce, fried green tomato, crisped prosciutto, avocado,  and a perfectly cooked scallop, I think that this may have been my perfect bite. 

 It was the best eating day I think we have ever had!
We had so much fun on our trip.  We had made three goals:
1. Connect
2. Eat amazing food
3. Feel rested
We were able to check them all off our list!

We were so excited to see the kids, though.  
We really missed them!

We got back late on Monday night and can I tell you that I am having the hardest time catching up?!? Between laundry and grocery shopping and just wanting to snuggle my kiddos, it has been taking longer than I anticipated to get back into the groove!  Sheesh...
