Cheryl Shops

It had only been a few months since we last took a weekend trip to Santa Barbara, but after the stress of the last month (we're ok, really!), not to mention the ridiculously cold and windy spring weather we've been having, Sean & I decided that we were in need of a long weekend of rest and relaxation. Our goal: to lounge by a pool, bask in the sunshine, and maybe roll out to a winery or nice dinner (or a few). With that in mind, we were lucky enough to snag a last-minute hotel reservation in Calistoga, which is one of our favorite little towns in Napa County. Here's where we went and what we did over Memorial Day weekend.

Hi, my name is Cheryl, and I'm a white top addict. Every spring and summer, I buy at least two or three of them. They are all a little different—crocheted, embroidered, eyelet, voile, gauze—and thus all totally necessary in my mind. In my defense, I wear them nonstop in the warmer months; I think they're more interesting than basic tees, and they keep me slightly warmer in the Northern California weather. But to me, they're special summer snowflakes—no two are alike, and so my addiction persists. This year's collection is off to a great start, and since the weather in Napa was delightful last weekend (I stayed in Calistoga for Easter), I was excited to break out my newest purchase.
