So I finally have something to write about! Sorry I have been lagging! I definitely will never become a professional blogger. Well here is our latest adventure....
March 24th was my birthday, I decided to work that day since I am getting "older" and its not that important to have the day off for my birthday. My bestie Lauren sent me a beautiful bouquet of roses at work, she always knows how to cheer me up. This year was my first birthday away from all my closest friends, but I was so thankful to have my family and Dan to help me celebrate.
We had 4 days off work and Daniel and I decided to drive down to the wine country for the weekend to get out of the terrible snow and cold weather. I couldn't find a better place to spend my birthday than in the wine country. Dan was my designated driver for the day since he is from the area and has been wine tasting most of his life. We headed up to Healdsburg, a part of Sonoma County I had never been to and started tasting. Already at our first stop we were being treated to free tastings since he is a "Local" and I was the birthday girl. I knew we had fun and crazy day ahead of us. We toured several wineries, had a gourmet picnic lunch and got home in time for me to pass out.
We were having too much fun and decided that we weren't ready to go back to the snow. We took a trip to visit Dan's grandmother, she is 93 and still going strong. It was really nice for me to finally meet her and one of his aunts as well. Next we headed over to Dan's best friend's brother's tasting room and to our surprise it was probably our favorite. Super happy that they are doing so well and that we get a discount on such great wine. We met up with Dan's dad for a late lunch and then headed towards his mom's house in Sonoma. We decided to head up to the top of the vineyard and watch the sunset. It was so beautiful looking out over the whole valley and watching the sun go down. We ended the night with family, a hot fire, and some beers. Overall it was an amazing trip and just what we both needed. It was so nice to see the family since some of them we haven't seen since Thanksgiving.
