Napa Valley Weekend on a Budget

Napa Valley is such a favorite among my friends and family my husband I chose to spend our October, 2009 honeymoon among the grapes, stunning views and fantastic food.

Route 29 will be your path to fun and adventure, no matter what you are in the mood for!

Daisy JustDaisy
I am an attorney married to an attorney, which means my house is full of boring books & equally boring discussions. To make up for the general lack of creativity I blog, I cook & I make fun of the legal profession at every available opportunity. Unless of course I’m feeling sassy and then I’ll offer unsolicited advice on being a law student or a lawyer or the spouse of a lawyer. My taste in movies is questionable, my taste in music more-so. I monogram everything. It is just how I do things. Our household consists of me, B (my husband) and Rhett Butler, our dog. Please enjoy our fur child who is clearly a genius. Finally, I hate tomatoes. And mushroooms.
