"20 Minute" List

Your significant other comes home from work on a Friday afternoon and says "You've got 20 minutes to pack your stuff and get in the car. We're going to the beach this weekend." What do you pack? Ready, go!

1. 2 swimsuits
2. 2 beach towels
3. Sunscreen
4. My kindle & charger
5. 2 sundresses
6. 2 tank tops
7. Linen pants
8. A pair of shorts
9. 2 pair of sandals
10. Beach bag

Now, hop in the car and head to the beach. That's definitely what I wish Kris would say to me on Friday!

What a lucky girl!

So we're back from our trip to Napa, and I have to say that I am one lucky girl. There were times when I had to pinch myself because I couldn't believe this was my real life. It felt like a dream. Being waited on hand and foot was so luxurious it felt wrong! I mean, having fresh peaches pureed for you in the morning (for bellinis, of course!) has got to be some kind of sin, right?! After 9 days of private tours/tastings and being treated like royalty (because my husband is in the food and beverage biz), getting back to reality is almost heart-breaking.

We loved our trip so much, and we can't wait to go back. Special thanks to Cherokee Country Club, Trinchero Family Estates, E.J. Gallo, LVMH, and Constellation for being so hospitable.
