Romantic Getaway in Napa Valley (Finally!)
I don’t talk a lot about my married life on here, for obvious reasons, but I’m publicly celebrating love this week. Why?

ArtSmart Roundtable: Sculpture at Clos Pegase

Oxbow Public Market in Napa
I had heard a lot about Oxbow Public Market. People said that it was a place not to be missed, so I had pretty high expectations when I finally went there recently. At first, I was a little surprised that it wasn’t as big as I had imagined. However, the more I looked around, the [...]
