Napa Valley Weekend with Kids

Napa Valley is one of my favorite places in the United States for a weekend away, and even the youngest members of your family will appreciate what it has to offer.

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.
