Roses are red, wine is too, and I have found the perfect Valentineâs escape for you. This week, we travel to Carmel Valley, Californiaâa place that is near and dear to my heart. I got engaged here, celebrated my baby moon here, and even celebrated my five-year wedding anniversary with two-year-old twins in tow a lifetime ago. Buckle Up, because I'm back to revisit one of the most romantic regions in the state with a fresh perspective but long affection for the people and the place.
