It's my birthday, my family and I took a trip to Napa, California's
first big wine region. Did some shopping, stayed at a great
thai-flavored B&B, had dinner at a wonderful restaurant, an amazing
breakfast on the grounds of the B&B and took the scenic route home.

One problem with being in wine country - I stopped drinking a couple of
months ago. Weird, I started journalling what I'm eating and just
stopped drinking when I started factoring in the calories.

I did some back-of-the-beermat math and figured the calories I'd drunk
in my adult life equalled close to 500 pounds worth of fat.

It was refreshing driving through wine country sober when I know
everyone else on the road's had a few.

Happy birthday! That sounds like a good weekend.

I've never drank alcohol much. Even at my age, I'm still unsure of how much (or little) I could drink and still drive safely, so I always err on the side of caution and don't drink if I'll be driving later.

I stopped drinking a couple years ago but love wine country. I've debated whether or not it would be worthwhile to go back and visit. Your post has
given support to the 'go back' option, thanks!
