Escondido Idea House Open House Schedule and Directions - Southern Living

I am so excited about this. I drive through Marble Falls (which is only 8 miles away from the Southern Living Idea House in Horseshoe Bay) when I go to see my Aunt Janae in Fredericksburg. I've been wanting to take my friends to Marble Falls and Horseshoe Bay since, like, forever... now we have a good reason to go!

Check out this house.. it's AMAZING!!!

Escondido Idea House - Horseshoe Bay, TX

The Culinary Institute of America - Napa

My last night in Napa!

So much fun!

Again, wish I had taken more pictures!

Can't wait until next year to go back!

David Fulton Winery, Napa Valley

David Fulton Winery and Vineyard

is tucked away on a residential street

It is one of the oldest wineries in Napa

It is able to stay where it is at because it's

a historic site

This winery is so worth the visit!

I loved it so much

I signed up for their wine club!

The 2007 Petit Sirah rocks!



Peaches with Basil

All I can say is yummy!

I sliced a peach- drizzled it with honey - chopped up some fresh basil ( can you believe my basil is thriving in this heat? )- then topped it off with some goat cheese

Madrigal Vineyards, Napa Valley

As I mentioned previously, I was in Napa for a convention

So...........

I only got to visit a couple wineries

Shout out to my friend, Allison for scheduling it along with the limo

Madrigal was first on the list

I loved the 2006 Petit Sirah and the 2006 Zinfandel

I'd show you a picture, but they are in a box being shipped back to me!

Being first timer, I didn't think about how to get our wine purchases back to Texas.

Of course, where there is "wine" there is a "way"

Most wineries won't even ship to us until October because of the weather.

Mustards Grill, Napa

Our first night in Napa,

we dined at Mustard's Grill

It was amazing!

Once again, my pictures do not do justice

I got so caught up in the food and the company

I just forgot to take any more pictures

Meritage Resort & Spa, Napa, CA

I was in Napa attending a

WineShop At Home convention

It was amazing!

We all stayed at the Meritage

We had a reception in the Cave

Look at that ceiling

I wish I had taken more pictures

San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge

It was a very windy cool foggy morning when I took these pictures

Streets of San Francisco

My pictures are just a small glimpse into San Francisco.



San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf

On the way to Napa

with my gal pals,

Misty & Melissa

(remember them from our Trader Joe's Adventure?)

We spent the day (and night)

in San Francisco

Misty and I have never been there before

Melissa has lived there and couldn't wait to show us around

First stop, Buena Vista

Known for their Irish Coffee

It was yummy

but

man oh man

I think I grew some hairs on my chest

(not)

I wimped out and let Melissa have mine

This week I will be posting daily on my trip to "Cali"

Stay tuned...
