The current Lafayette real estate market is a bit of wild ride these days.  It makes for busy and exciting days, evenings, and weekends. I did, though, manage to get away for a few hours to St. Helena yesterday with a girlfriend to visit my favorite local haunts.

That’s one of the extra perks of living in Lafayette – proximity.

The drive to St. Helena during this time of year is spectacular with the vineyards full of wild Mustard. At best, it takes 1 hour to get there from Lafayette. We are so lucky to live near this incredible world-renown destination.

This picture, captured by the Napa County Register, is a perfect representation of what it looks like right now, minus all the tourists with their cameras!
