Missed a Monday update. \u00a0Just when I was off to such a good start this year. \u00a0Oh well, I made it a month, I’ll call it a victory.<\/p>\n
Friday was a no-show for us. \u00a0I was a few hours away in a class, getting all learnt up on some horrible subject matter. \u00a0After the long, slow drive home in traffic I just didn’t have anything else in me. \u00a0Actually I should say, the long, slow “ride,” I didn’t even drive. \u00a0Oh well, it was taxing all the same.<\/p>\n
Saturday was a fine day. \u00a0We got around a little slowly, then headed out by ourselves for a little wine tasting. \u00a0It’s rather rare that we do the wine loop by ourselves, but we had a few specific stops we needed to make and didn’t want to get all caught up in the logistics of a group trip. \u00a0We started off at Scott Harvey<\/a>, pretty close to our house. \u00a0They were having an “event” I wanted to go to, mostly because there was food involved. \u00a0Other than the sketchy weather, it was a good time. \u00a0They had five or six tastings, and each was paired with a food. \u00a0Don’t know why but I have fun at those. \u00a0Not to mention one of the stations was oysters, and I don’t get those very often. \u00a0I circled back to that one a few times…. \u00a0“Nah I’m good on the wine thanks, I’ll take a few more of those oysters.” \u00a0There’s one in every crowd. \u00a0From there we moved on to Cooper<\/a>, one of our “original” favorites. \u00a0That’s one of the first wineries\u00a0we visited when we moved out here, so we like to go back there for a “ahhhh remember when…” trip. \u00a0Their wine is pretty darn good too. \u00a0For our evening entertainment, we went to a wine tasting party of all things. \u00a0Whew, the ol’ taste buds were a little shot by then but we gave it a go. \u00a0We had a great time faking the scores like we knew what we were doing. \u00a0Yeah we’re pretty fancy.<\/p>\n Sunday we had a Super Bowl party on the calendar, but it just didn’t come together. \u00a0Two parties in one weekend? \u00a0Madness. \u00a0Instead we invited another couple over and just did some grilling on the patio. \u00a0It was warm enough to move the TV back outside for the game, but that sounded like work so we watched it inside. \u00a0Good times all the same, and it started dumping rain once again so it was probably for the best.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
