Trying to take a weekend in Napa valley with no reservations in the summer can be a challenge. We ended up having a blast though. The first place we stayed was the Roman Spa Hotel. We've stayed here a number of times and have always enjoyed it. It seems to be the hotel of choice for people 65+. Aside from the few families with young children, we were probably the youngest people there. The first night we stayed in a room with a jacuzzi tub. The second night we moved into a larger room with a little kitchenette. The pool is surrounded by astro turf an palm trees. Its really quite a kick.

Dinner at a restaurant called Wappo- the food is always great there. I had a fantastic Duck Confit salad. They also have really good non-alcoholic spritzers. I am drinking an elder flower concoction of some sort. It was delicious!Finally the last night we were there we got in to Indian Springs which is a resort I've always wanted to stay at but is always sold out. We were lucky enough to get a room there our last night in Calistoga. It was worth every penny! The property was beyond beautiful and pool was spectacular- it was huge, warm and well decorated. It was so nice, Aziz actually said we should be sure to make reservations next time to assure we can stay for our whole trip.
I'll expand on this trip more later- just wanted to get some pic's up for everyone to enjoy!

We found a really good bbq spot in St. Helena. We had lunch there all five days.
The last day we were there we made a stop at the old faithful geyser.
