If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times: Ali’s
missed her calling. She is, without a
doubt, the best vacation planner I’ve ever known. We had planned a quick daytrip to Napa to
pick up the wine from this month’s wine club.
To my surprise, she handed me a sort of two-day Napa scavenger
hunt. There were nearly a dozen items
and about 36 hours to get ‘er done but that’s not all! The theme was, “A Weekend of Firsts.”
We started with a California staple, In-N-Out Burger (Double
Double and a Milk Shake). Excellent
burger, terrible fries, good milkshake.
We will go again.
Shortly thereafter we proceeded to a new Napa dog park (even
the dog park has vines), checked-in at the new temporary domicile (Beazley
House), visited three new tasting rooms (Grgich, Girard, and Corley Farms), and
then had dinner at a new restaurant in downtown Napa.
The “Weekend of Firsts” continued on Sunday with a trip to
the Old Faithful Geyser of California, Buster’s BBQ, and reached a glorious
crescendo with an afternoon viewing of Top Gun in 3D at the SF Imax
Theatre (!!). I didn’t get a picture of us in
our 3D glasses but I did get this!
