To celebrate our anniversary, Jeremy and I headed up to Indian Springs, which is this absolutely adorable resort/spa in Calistoga. Indian Springs feels super retro and fancy at the same time; apparently the place is super old and in shambles in the 1980s when a family took it over and remodeled it. They did a really great job keeping the feel of the place, and you can just imagine families in the 1950s rolling up the gravel-filled driveway in their huge cars, swimming in the pool in wool suits, and playing shuffleboard and bocce at dusk.
Natural spring waters feed into the pool, which means the water is warm during the day and hot at night. More like a hot tub than a pool. It was VERY conducive to relaxation. We also got some treatments at the spa; Jeremy had a mud bath and I got a massage. Afterwards, you can hang out at a private area for spa patrons known as the Buddha Pond, which was absolutely gorgeous:
Indian Springs was so nice that we pretty much only left to eat and drink. We had fabulous meals at Triple S Ranch (VERY off-the-beaten path steak house--it felt like you were driving to someone's house. The food was amazing, the vibe was local, and the decor was fabulous...think taxidermy, checkered tablecloths, and retro boxing posters) and Ad Hoc. We also did a wine tasting at our favorite, Dutch Henry, where we met this little lady:
And of course, we opened our year 1 wishes from the wedding. So sweet, I am loving this tradition. :)
Happy anniversary, my love!
