Yesterday morning I woke up feeling... well... sore hahaa. I haven't had to sleep on a twin sized bed since living in the dorms during freshman year. It's okay. The conversation and the company are ultimately what count in the end, right? Felt a bit rushed while getting ready to take on the day but I knew we had a schedule to follow. Finally got to use the Peet's coupon I received from my coworker. I was somewhat apprehensive to use it but by golly it sure did work! The guy ended up charging me for the lesser of the two drinks, which he did in error. I'm not compaining though muahahaa =) Then off to Pluto's we went. Barf. That's literally what my salad tasted like. Oh well, I needed sustenance in my stomach to get me through what I knew would be a long day. After the unsatisfying meal we went back home to prepare for the... road trip!!!!
Driving to Napa was a piece of cake. Played games to pass the time. Granted my mind drifted elsewhere at one point and I almost ran into the car in front me. Aiyahh... good thing my reflexes were quick enough that I was able to swerve and avoid the collision. Phew. An apology to the both of you for putting your lives in danger =/ We headed first to the Mondavi winery. Sampled wine and took pics. Even ended up buying a bottle for my parents to try. I figured if they didn't like it then I'd always be more than willing to drink it all teehee.
Beaulieu was next. Beautiful place? Not so much. I'd say Mondavi had a much nicer feel than this snobby place but we didn't stay too long so I wasn't complaining. More pics outside the winery. And then off to Downtown Napa to find food. In reality, Downtown Napa wasn't really much of a downtown at all. Food was scarce and so were people. Aside from the crowd gathered around the waterfront there really wasn't much going on. Almost as if we were in a ghosttown. We ended up eating Chinese food. One of my top choices and I'd say a good one at that. The food was better than I expected except for the salt drenched mallard. Eww.
Sorry, I know my pic is quite similar to yours =)

Sorry, I know my pic is quite similar to yours =)At 8:28 I received a text from Auntie Linda asking me to pick her up from SMF. Sure. She always drops in unannounced but according to her it's for good reason. When asked by my grandma why she never lets us know when she's coming in my auntie responded with, "I don't want you to buy up the whole world just because you know I'm coming in for the weekend." Fair enough. We always enjoy when she comes into town though because she never comes empty handed. Last night her suitcase was stuffed with fobby polo shirts, Chinese dvds, Chinese mags and coffee and biscuits from France. Yay!
I'm glad you came =)
