The writer is preparing for an exciting adventure, a girls' trip to Napa with Aaron's family. This is the first time the writer is embarking on such a journey with just the ladies from Aaron's family, marking a special milestone in their relationship.

A year ago, the writer made the decision to move back to Abilene, Texas from Seattle, to live closer to their family. Since then, they've grown significantly closer, and the writer feels confident in their decision to return.

The trip is intended to become an annual tradition, filled with activities such as hiking, yoga, wine tasting, and a special dinner out. The writer is packing versatile clothing for the occasion, including black dresses, athletic shoes, cute clogs, comfortable flat sandals, workout clothes, and mid-rise leggings.

One of the key items on the writer's packing list is a swimsuit from Vitamin A. Known for its high quality and eco-friendly ethos, the swimsuit is a high neck stripe top and adjustable bikini bottom, perfect for a day spent poolside or at the beach. Although it's a pricey addition, the writer believes it's worth the investment.

The writer has also purchased a black dress from Everlane, although it's currently out of stock in black. They've found a navy alternative that should serve the purpose just as well. To complement the outfit, the writer is shopping for accessories from J.Crew, Seven, BRYR, ONA, Moulton, and Madewell.

For those moments when the writer wants to capture memories with the group, they've added a small iPhone tripod to their luggage. This trusty device has been with the writer for years and is small enough to fit in their purse. To further document their journey, the writer has also purchased a small iPhone tripod for taking group pictures.

Lastly, the writer is proud to share that the bracelet from Moulton, which they'll be wearing on the trip, is handmade to order in the USA. The writer is looking forward to this trip, not just as a break from routine, but as a chance to strengthen bonds and create new memories with their family.

Unfortunately, the search results do not provide any information about which family members from Aaron's side will be accompanying the writer on the trip. Regardless, the writer is eagerly awaiting the adventure that lies ahead.
