Amabelle’s B-Day

Napa Valley is sooo beautiful. I took Amabelle up there today for her birthday; we indulged ourselves at the Lavendar Hill Spa and had some fantastic food at the Culinary Institute of America. Just south of the CIA is an amazing road with an archway of trees. I had seen it twice before, and both times, I was forced to pull over to gawk at it. Even though the trees had shed their leaves for the winter, their branches still reached out to clasp each other just over the road. It made me happy to see it again. :)

When we returned to San Francisco, I did my best to convince Amabelle that we were heading out to dinner alone, but she pretty much already knew that we were planning something, so it wasn’t very effective. :)

    yes… yes, there was, if you can believe that! we were thinking about taking it outside and eating right in front of the restaurant just to tease them. ;)

    Not a good set of pictures for Amabelley. Was it birthday blues? She doesn’t seem to enjoy the Valley nor the gathering?

    Cheerless set of pictures on this captivating lady… especially on Bday

    my bad if i stirred or stepped the boundary of lurkers…

    actually, i had a blast yesterday. i may have been kind of tired for parts of the day… but i felt very loved when my sister and friends showed up for the dinner. i’m sometimes camera-shy, but i’ll make an effort to smile more next time for the camera. ;)

    p.s. it may have been the massage and detoxifying bath i just had in napa that made me so relaxed that my cheek muscles didn’t want to be strained just yet. ;)
