Sunday Funday Wine Tasting

We went with our good friends Jimmy and Sara and Sara's friend,Natalie, out to the Temecula Wine Country last Sunday.  This was my first time wine tasting and wasn't too sure what to expect sine I am not a big into drinking wine.  We started out at Wilson Creek Winery and made our way to the "Members Only Bar", thanks to Jimmy and Sara being members, and did our 5 tastings. I loved 2 wines and of course the Almond Champagne.  We enjoyed the atmosphere and what the winery had to offer to their Members Josh and I deiced to get our own membership.  Once we were done at stop #1 we made our way to winery #2: Faulkner Winery where Jimmy and Sara had their "I do's" in October of 2009 for more tastings and fun times and finally finished at winery #3: Vindemia which is an up and coming winery that holds its tasting in their rose garden. If you go there you have to have Cowbell, so yummy!

After an extremely fun day wine tasting  we were headed for dinner.  When we got in the car turned on the radio and had a little dance party and singing our hearts out to awesome 90s music, Vanilla Ice: Ice, Ice, Baby and Paula Abdul's Straight up! I think Jimmy was happy it was a short drive from the Wine Country to dinner.

We had dinner at Spuntino Pizzeria we order appetizer's and Pizza Hawaii and Patatina. By far the best was the Pizza Patatina, how can you go wrong with pizza and french fries?! We will definitely be going back to check out more of their Menu.

No, I am not ready to go outside!

It is amazing how much a dog can be so much like his or her owner.  My Charleigh Grace is just like me...yes it is true, we hate mornings. This is Friday morning. She got up after yelling at her for 10 mins to move and she makes it to the landing and lays down.  Basically this her ignoring me and doesn't care that I want to go start my day.  Finally after 5 more minutes she finally got up and went outside...it only took 3 Beggin' Strips to coax her down.

Sushi Anyone?!

I am one of the pickiest eaters.  My meals usually consist of chicken, pizza, spaghetti, and bean and cheese burritos to name a few.  Josh came down for lunch and stopped by my parents house for some stuff.  He ended up staying longer than expected and my dad mentioned what was for dinner.  When my dad asks that question it usually means two things, he either wants 1) In N Out or 2) Sushi.

Since my mom was at school I decided to join the guys for Sushi at Hana's. Everything they ate did not look appetizing to me and Josh ate something that still had a head and eyeballs. I stuck with the "White people menu" as my brother told the waitress "Oh, and she'll need a fork too." (he knows me well) and had Teriyaki Chicken and Rice (which was very yummy).  But then again all three said, "How hard is it to screw up chicken and rice?"  Despite being disgusted by the food I had a great time hanging out with my Daddy, Brother, and husband!
