Calistoga 2010


The annual post-tax-season family spa retreat has been a great excuse to travel to the Bay Area and catch up with friends, see family, and spend a couple days at work, having lunch with my old buddies, and meeting some new team members face-to-face.

The main event is always the stay in Calistoga at our favorite inn and spa, where we spend 2 very mellow days soaking in pools of hot mineral water, drinking fine wine, eating fabulous food, going for walks/hikes, and finish it off with a deep tissue massage.

This year we went on a hike that took us on the Table Rock trail. It was steep and mainly through a runoff/creekbed which meant a lot of loose rock. Thankfully no one fell and we made it to the outcropping of sharp volcanic rock in 2 hours. Views of the valley were magnificent and the recent spring rains encouraged lots of wildflowers to spring up along the path. More pics here.
