Well all in all we had a really amazing trip to the West Coast. It was so wonderful to see our friends (the first visit to NYC folk since the big move - in this case both ours and theirs), meet their puppy and explore their new home town.
It was the first real vacation (real meaning somewhere we had to fly) we've taken since our trip to Mexico a few years ago so it was totally overdue and worth it. We spent most of our visit in Sonoma and Napa Valley. Both were breathtakingly beautiful and so so much fun!
Because of Evan's job we got a tour of the grounds at Chalk Hill winery in Napa. It.Was.Gorgeous! There was one point where we were literally standing at the top of a mountain and our guide told us they owned everything we could see. Evan joked that he felt like a Cuban drug lord, I however, started spouting Lion King quotes and calling everyone Simba.
We had a private driver all day and were SO proud of ourselves for pacing the day and being good drunks that we decided not to nap before dinner. Then we got to the hotel, had cigars and champagne in our rooms, traveled out to the fire pit by the pool and finished off two more bottles before stumbling a quarter mile to Bouchon in a gold lame maxi dress and platform heels. We pretty much all blacked out and don't remember the walk home, but we still had a blast!
Needless to say we were slow moving the next morning and all opted for breakfast in bed and a late start. I ended up eating breakfast on an ostrich leather ottoman. Seriously. This hotel was SICK! I mean, how many times in your life do you get to eat breakfast on the most expensive leather in the world?! Just crazy.
Unfortunately my dear readers, I got used to being spoiled very easily and am now in a little bit of a funk because I'm no longer living the life of a rap star. I need some ideas for getting to rap star status permanently....
