Surprise Birthday Trip! (Napa, Ca)
My birthday was such a treat this year. It started Saturday morning, April 3rd. I knew my boyfriend Aaron had something planned but I had no idea where we were going. He told me to pack clothes for the night and mentioned that I would not be back home till Sunday evening. We hopped in the car and started to head out. We got on 680 going towards Sacramento. I was really thrown for a loop.. I figured we would head to Monterey or Carmel. So I sat and eagerly anticipated my arrival location.

We crossed the Benicia bridge and I was still confused and then I wondered if we were going to the Sonoma race track? I asked and he laughed and said no we are not going to the race track. Any way a few miles went by and then I saw the big sign for Napa. I was like hrmm could this be happening. Is he really taking me to Napa? Finally he spoke, something like, did you figure it out yet? I was like yes, I think it’s, it’s Napa. He was like well all these signs did not help me keep my secret.
The rest of a trip was still top secret. My mind was racing with thoughts of wine, food, cheese, olives.. oh my where would we eat? So many good places.
