The weekend came and went so quickly. On Saturday, I went up to Napa Valley for a friend’s bachelorette party. The weather was gorgeous, and were it not for the hospital-grade breast pump that I had to lug up with me on the trip, I *almost* forgot about being a mommy for the day.
While in Napa, we took a boat tour of the Napa River and afterwards headed over to the Oxbow Public Market to have lunch. This was my first time at Oxbow, and it reminded me somewhat of the Ferry Building Marketplace in SF (okay, I just googled Oxbow Public Market and it turns out that it was the brainchild of the same guy who supervised the development of the SF Ferry Building – so the similarities makes sense). We ate lunch at the Oxbow Wine Merchant & Wine Bar. The Artisanal Cheese Board that we had as a starter was fantastic, and my main dish – a smoked salmon BLT – was not too shabby either.
It’s been a month since I’ve returned to work after having been off on maternity leave for five months. Juggling work and mommy responsibilities has been difficult, to say the least. Every morning, I wake up tired and every night, I go to sleep tired. Some days I think I’m just operating in a daze. I’m hoping this general feeling of malaise will end soon.
Anyway, I have to end this post with a picture of my little bugger. Here he is, sitting happy in his Bumbo!
