Let me WINE about it

Last weekend we got a little non-kid get away with our good friend Sal and Stephanie. We left Teresa with my parents and dropped Mary off at Kevin's brother in Morro Bay. We were then off to Paso Robles for a weekend of wine tasting.
We stayed at a winery we belong to. They just put together a big suite overlooking their tasting room and vineyard. It was a big two bedroom, dining room, living room, and kitchen suite. It was great, except for the fact the bathroom was outside, down the hall, around the corner, and down a bit more OUTSIDE. Wasn't so bad, except if you had to pee in the middle of the night and it's freezing outside. Oh well.
We had lots of fun playing cards and getting wine silly. We played music and danced and relaxed.

Saturday was our full day of wine tasting. Fun day of catching up with our winery friends and stocking up on wine.



Sunday Gary, Kevin's brother, and family were nice enough to drive out and meet us at a winery to drop off Mary. From there Mary got to go to a couple wineries with us and then we were on our way home.

My van was packed to the top of the 5 of us, suitcases and 13 cases of wine. Ok, they are not all for us. We pick up for others when we come too. We are wine-o's, but not really that bad.
it was a nice relaxing weekend away from the kids and with our good friends. I'm ready to go back NOW! = )

Looks like a great time! And is that a cup of wine Mary is holding? Teach 'em while they're young!

Thanks for dropping by my blog. Hopefully some day all of this writing will become an actual book. For now, I'm just enjoying the ride.
