Wine=Happiness

Yesterday was a sad day at the Holland House, as we had to say a sudden goodbye to one of our beloved furry friends. Hank is going to do the honor of writing about it, but we need a few days to adjust and reflect (and cry). Just so happens that we are leaving town today for a much anticipated trip to Napa. At first I thought about canceling the trip, but I think it's going to be good for us to get away from the house for a few days. Our fantastic house sitter will be here to love on our girls in our absence, and I know that coming home will be hard.

We're excited for this trip, as Hank will be running the Napa marathon with about 40 other "Gazelles" from our training group. We also have some wine tastings and good meals planned throughout the weekend. I've never traveled with so many people before, but we're expecting it to be a really fun time.
