Calistoga!!!!

This weekend, we drove north for a getaway weekend in Calistoga. We rented a little yellow cottage from Aurora Park Cottages, packed our bags, strapped the bikes on the car, and zipped out of town.

One of the best parts of our stay was the yummy pastry brunch that was delivered to our door every morning. We could get used to waking up to this:

In addition to eating delicious pastries, on Saturday we went on a 20 mile bike ride through the heart of Calistoga wine country. While the initial climb over a steep mountainous pass (complete with ferocious bobcats, deadly potholes, and speedy monster trucks) was a little too much for Stacey, the rest of the ride was beautiful and mostly flat, winding through scenic vineyards on back country roads:

On Sunday we stopped by Lavender Hill Spa for some much-needed relaxation time, then we swung by our new favorite restaurant, East West Cafe, in Santa Rosa. Best carrot cake in the world! And the hummus and veggie wraps and macro plate and ginger beer were pretty good too.

Overall, a fun and relaxing weekend. Next time we'll need to drag ourselves out of bed a bit earlier and take a hot air balloon ride through the Napa Valley.
