Napa Weekend

perfect patios at my cousin's beautiful napa home

I spent this past weekend exploring the beautiful Napa Valley.  Between eating delicious pizza at Redd Wood, enjoying a lovely dinner at Tra Vigne, tasting various wines and visiting Meadowood, I have concluded that I could make the trip to Napa every weekend.  It is a perfect, relaxing escape from the busy city. 

London

Ralph's | Paris

I just got back from an amazing trip to Brussels, Paris & London (more photos to come!).  While in Paris, I had lunch on the terrace at Ralph's - the restaurant at the Ralph Lauren store in Saint Germain.  The whole property was absolutely beautiful – inside and out.  Every detail was seen to – in perfect Ralph Lauren style – from the architecture, landscaping, interior design, blue and white decor, rod iron furniture, and leather bound menus.  As if the atmosphere wasn't enough, we were given fried olives to start our lunch and caramel popcorn to end it.  With wine, yummy food, and a beautiful setting, it was a perfect afternoon in Paris.
