Day - 1121

Friday, November 27, 2020

We woke up early, packed up the bikes and were out the door by 9 for our day trip to Yountville, CA. Alice had been talking about riding bikes in Napa all week. Luckily, the day was perfect, blue skies, no wind, around 70 degrees, what could be better than a post-TG Fridays like this one. We arrived around 10, found a spot to park in the middle of town, and away we went. 

Our first destination was French Laundry at the end of Washington Street in Yountville. This is us standing in front of the famous 3-star Michelin restaurant. This is on our bucket list, a night at this place. Perhaps after Covid. We'll start saving our pennies...it's $350/person. 

We bought lunch at R&D Kitchen (rainbow sushi), then croissants and lattes at Bouchon Bakery (30 minute wait). 

Such a wonderful day!

Even traffic coming home was easy and nice.

We came home, had leftovers from last night, then watched the final two episodes of The Queen's Gambit. Fitting conclusion to a fine first season. I loved the triumphant conclusion in which everyone helps Beth beats Russia's best, who takes defeat like a gracious champion (unlike someone we all know, who never learned how to lose (never learned how to lose...what a sad, sick loser)).
