GOOD wine-ing. No whining.

Once again I’m needing a vacation from my vacation. I was gone for a glorious four days. Four days of no whining in wine country. California was beautiful, relaxing, delicious. But. the amount of time it took me to plan and get ready for it was crazy. And the time it’s going to take me to unpack and do all the laundry is even crazier. Each one of us had a bag to pack. The girls went to two separate homes while we were away. I have my bag. And my husband has his. I could unpack his bag for him. But I don’t. And I won’t. I do the girls bags and that’s enough. Plus who wants to deal with post vacation funk. You know.. dirty laundry that gets shoved in every corner of the bag.. pretty much “infecting” the clothes you didn’t wear.
Well I need to come clean about one thing. Both girls came home with CLEAN clothes. And.. Clean bodies. How lucky am I. So really no excuses. But if I can’t whine on my blog.. Where can I?
Now for some info you can use if you ever happen to be in the area of Napa.
Vacation Highlights:
Carneros Inn & Spa (Bikes, Bocce & the Boon Fly Cafe.)
Turnbull Winery. (Say hi to C.J. for me.)
Celadon restaurant in Napa (Loved the mussels.)
Horizons Restaurant in Sausalito. (Try the fish tacos!)
Ferry from Sausalito to San Francisco. (great views)
B44 restaurant in San Francisco (Terrific Tapas)

Hi Rachel,
Glad to hear that you enjoyed your vacation. I too was on vacation except I was in St. Louis for a convention. I completely understand about the laundry pile. When you go on vacation the heap seems to be never ending. I wanted to touch base with you and see if you were using non-toxic, biodegradeable laundry soap or shampoo/conditioner or non-toxic bath soap on the girls and yourselves. The convention I just attended was for Shaklee. A 50+ year old company that prides itself on reducing its carbon footprint and exceptional quality products. My team will be having a meeting August 19th in Green Bay and it would be my pleasure if you would attend. If you are interested please contact me for more information about the products and the next meeting.
Thank you, Jen
Definitely one of the better posts that I have seen on this topic. Are there other resources that I should check out?
