I quit my job! And then guess where I went?

Last week, two major things happened:

1. I told my boss I’m quitting.

2. I took my first break from work in nearly a year.

Okay, to be more accurate, it’s:

1. I told my boss I’m quitting;

2. I quickly left town and disappeared to avoid any repercussions.

I was privileged and lucky enough to be able to take a vacation.  If that makes you feel annoyed, stop reading.  If you like to live vicariously through others, keep going!

Can you guess where I went?  Here is a short photo montage:

Photo #1: The lines were as long as those at Disneyland!

Photo #2: Here’s a better clue.

Photo #3:  Oh, was that unhelpful?  Here’s yet another clue…

Photo #4:  Here’s yet another one, on yet a totally different part of the trip.

Photos #5, 6, 7:  These photos are to emphasize the point that photos #2-4 made.  In case you have a short-term memory.

Photo #8-11:  Oh, okay, fine, here are some other clues.

Did you guess Napa?

You are right!

Napa is a short drive away: about an hour from San Francisco.  Yet it’s been 3 years since I last visited for the first time.

Seeing as how I can’t drink alcohol anymore, it was an odd choice to go to Napa (who goes to Napa unable to drink wine?!  I do).

But the weather was perfect, we had a cheap place to stay, and the good food was interspersed with easy biking past tons and tons of vineyards.

Next time, I might just hang my bike off my bike rack and pack a lunch to go.

Meanwhile, it was the last hurrah before joblessness!

Hurrah!

XO,

Elisa

PS:  Oh, by the way, did you know the Bay Bridge is QUICKLY getting dismantled?

Here’s a photo, taken Sunday, 3/23/14.  Farewell, old Bay Bridge…..

PS: Top to bottom: Bouchon bakery, vineyards vineyards vineyards vineyards vineyards, Oxbow Market, Casa at Oxbow Market (the decor was cute), Morimoto’s huge chirashi-don and box lunch (enough fish for a small Japanese village).
