Later this week I will be meeting up with my girlfriends near the coast for some rest, relaxation, and fun. It’s the time of year where we put aside the duties of motherhood and make time for ourselves! I cherish these trips, for the memories, the wonderful conversation, the coffee mornings and wine evenings, being together like no time has past. Each year, we stay in different locales, and one year we are just going to have to visit the California wine country! I’ve been wine tasting in Sonoma for my sister-in-law’s “bachelorette” event and it was too much fun. Aside from the delicious wine we sampled, the country is just beautiful to see, and touring around with the girls couldn’t be more fun. If you are planning a trip to Calistoga or Napa, grab your friends and check out these great deals I found!
