It had been 2 years since "the group of friends" had taken a road trip. This year we decided to go to Napa Valley. There were 9 of us, as Brad was unable to attend. We rented 2 mini vans and flew into San Francisco. We drove up to Napa and rented a house there for our extended stay. The house was perfect, 5 bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths, so much space we didn't have enough time to enjoy all of it. A big kitchen, dining room, and of course pool & hot tub. All of our appointments were perfectly scheduled and filled with lots of great food and wine. Chad did a fantastic job planning the trip. We enjoyed the wines at Madrigal, Ma(i)sonry, Alpha Omega, Reverie, and Rodney Strong. We ate well at Taylor's Automatic Refresher, Bouchon, JoLe, and The Martini House. It was great to relax, hangout, enjoy the pool and hot tub, talk, and take in the sights of Wine Country. We all enjoyed ourselves so much we are already planning next year's trip back.
The "infamous" Napa Valley sign. We actually found another one in the valley. Won't miss another photo opt now.
The front of the house. It was beautiful and just perfect for what we wanted.
The pool & hot tub in the back of the house.
