Hey everyone! A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of visiting Napa and it was just as incredible as you would imagine! A big group of my friends as well as my Mom and Aunt drove up for the weekend since a few of us were working close to San Francisco. There are SO many wineries that it would be impossible to see them all in one weekend, so we kept it simple and only visited a few. Hess Winery: Funny story about this place.

Hey Everyone! I hope you all had an amazing holiday and new year! The past two years I have gone to New Orleans with my sister for NYE (See my New Orleans post here), but this year I decided to head to the mountains with a group of friends from college. Although only two out of the ten of us actually ski, it was a much-needed relaxing weekend with lots of laughs, and a little bit of altitude sickness. Where We Stayed We rented an Airbnb in Breckenridge for the weekend… View Post
