Anniversary Celebrations!

Since our anniversary fell on a weekday this year we chose to celebrate on Saturday. After picking up Russ's Mom at the airport we dropped her off then headed out. Our first stop was Sutter Home Winery right outside of St. Helena. We had been there 3 years ago, and remembered that they didn't charge for tasting so we stopped in. We ended up buying a case of wine! Its a new one that they just bottled last month. Its called "Red" and is a blend of Cabernet, Merlot, and Moscato. You can chill it since its on the sweeter side. I think its really yummy!



Next stop was Market in St. Helena. It is the restaurant we went to the night we got engaged. We always talk about how amazing the food was, but Russ thought it was just because what we were celebrating that night. We were wrong, the food really is AMAZING!! I had the "Very Adult Mac & Cheese" and Russ had New York Strip with a Port reduction sauce. They both were very good! For dessert we had S'mores, they bring you marshmallows, homemade graham crackers, chocolate and peanut butter to your table and let you make them yourself. If your ever in St. Helena I highly recommend it!



Our last stop was Golden Haven Spa in Calistoga. We had planned on Mud Baths, but Russ surprised me with massages too! You're only in the mud for about 10 minutes then you rinse off and get into a hot tub. After the hot tub you get wrapped in blankets and relax for about 20 minutes. The entire process is a little over an hour. The best part is that your spending the entire time with your spouse, its not like other spas where they separate you. After our blanket wraps we headed over to our massages.



The night was a success the only bad part is we had to drive home after our massages. I cant wait to do it again though!
