napa, sonoma, and just pure peace

this year dp and i (or at least just i) am making it a priority to seek time away for rest and relaxation. mid-feb we went up to napa and sonoma (and squeezed in chinatown) for 5 days. it was just simply beautiful. we even got to visit one of my dear friends :) dp and i had an enjoyable time going from one location to the next based on the previous merchant's recommendation. we'd put the name in the gps and go from there. we ended up in some beautiful wineries and sights (Armstrong Redwoods, Sonoma State Beach). our favorite part was just sitting at a winery with a glass of wine and sitting in quietness and stillness observing the beauty of the land. we had some wonderful conversation and enlightment moments. it was definitely a necessary trip to re-center ourselves and what we want to strive for in the near future. thank you God for the resources to be able to do this!
