Calistoga Weekend

I spent the weekend in Calistoga (in the Napa Valley) with my mother and my mother-in-law. I'm blessed to have a wonderful relationship and friendship with both of them. Hubs was in San Diego with my Dad (aka his father-in-law) and my brother (aka his brother-in-law) scuba diving on shipwrecks off the coast.

In Calistoga, we stayed at this place that included a spa. The first day we had mud baths (weird, but sooooo nice!!), the second day we had hour massages, and the third day we had herbal facials! Talk about being pampered. We also went wine tasting and ate delicious food. It was a great trip, but I really really missed my husband. We hadn't been apart that long since about 3-4 years ago. (And it's not happening again! *lol*)

Here are some photos from my trip:

Funny guy selling stuff from his bike.


The tram that took us up to Sterling winery.


Amazing view from the tram.

My dinner at this super-yummy restaurant. Pesto mashed potatoes!


We played yahtzee in the room and I actually got a yahtzee! See??


Our sparkling wine tasting at Mumm Napa.

Frosted-over champagne in its first fermentation. This 45 minute guided tour was REALLY interesting.
