Taking a Napa..
March 5, 2014
Just a couple mini-vacation days/nights with Heidi and Susan in the wine country.. a nascent annual tradition. I missed year one because I went, unexpectedly, to Nepal. Year two was our French Laundry and mud bath extravaganza. We somehow missed last year. Back on track this year–my second, their third.
Came in late afternoon yesterday. Settled in, caught up a lot, headed to Oxbow Public Market. People around here do marketing well… everything’s so attractive and arty. Ate at Kitchen Door and had a great dinner.
Today, after a hotel buffet breakfast, we wandered into and around downtown Napa. Gloomy day, but it’s dry and warm. Here’s a shot of the Napa River. Lots of redevelopment money has created a nice river-side ambiance:
Explored many galleries, boutiques. Lovely downtown. Some minor acquisitions. Resting up now–taking a Napa (get it?)–with reservations at Buchon in Yountville tonight.
This trip is all about gabbing and food, with a little shopping as a vehicle for more gabbing. So fun.
Oh, and then there was this:
Stiletto art. (Pretty awful, no?)
