Hi Neighbor!
Â
When I was a naĂŻve twentysomething planning our California honeymoon, I bookmarked two days in Napa Valley. I had A VISION for this portion of our trip, and it involved three things: a dreamy vineyard inn, a hot air balloon ride and dinner at the French Laundry. Spoiler alert: Only one of these things happened (the hot air balloon ride for the three people who are curious). We still had a lovely time vineyard hopping and soaking up those gorgeous Napa Valley vistas, but I told my husband that when we returned, he owed me dinner at the French Laundry.
