8 awesome things about our trip - Part 3

Fall foliage + Fall fashion

GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS. I have always been a Spring person but the last few trips have totally made me a Fall person. Leaves going from green to yellow and amber, hanging on as a gust of wind threatens to detach them. I have to admit I totally under packed for this trip - I planned for Fall but the temperatures took a good 10-degree dip.Thank god consumerism is well and alive, and I managed to get sweaters and stuff.

Cutest cousins moments

Seriously, the four of them. They are at the best age now when they can play together and absolutely delight in each other’s company.

Lots and lots of family time

This is why we travel. Many would find it a waste of money to travel with young kids, claiming, “They won’t remember a thing anyway.” True. But we find everytime the boys are taken out of their comfort zone or routine, they experience many “firsts” and their development takes a speed bump before launching off. At the end of the day, the memories belong to all of us 💕

Napa is always a good idea

While Napa Valley is not the most kid-friendly of places, we still managed to have a good time. From the cable cars of Stirling Vineyards to community playgrounds, the kids played while the adults sipped and sampled. While I thought Santa Train was a tourist trap, the kids gave it 5/5. Napa, always.

Eating so well - from the famous to the downright authentic

We kept things really simple this trip but that didn't mean we ate poorly. Not at all.
