A happy anniversary in Napa Valley

Our nine year anniversary was yesterday and we decided to take advantage of my parents being here and took off for an overnight trip to Napa Valley. It was a much needed rest after a busy December and we had a wonderful time. Nate and I aren't into fancy stuff or being really busy. We are just happy to have time to sit and talk at Starbucks or so something new that we've never done before.

Below are some pictures of our adventures from today . . . we ended up at Sterling Winery, which was recommended to us by a local guy named Chuck. We ate at this little deli in Calistoga and made friends with the guy sitting at the table next to us. Actually, he tried to get us to give him a piece of our pizza because it looked good to him and we ended up talking to him for a good half hour. Chuck is actually my kind of guy, and I wish we could have talked to him some more. We talked about politics, all the diferent places we've all lived, and even got a mini history of Calistoga, CA. I knew I loved him when he said he would choose to live in Texas if he could choose any place in the country to live:)

Anyway, Chuck recommended this winery, so we checked it out. Everyone had to take a gondola type tram to the top--which was so cool. Once we were up there, we took a self-guided tour and had great views of the beautiful Napa Valley.

It was a great ninth anniversary:)
