Get Thee to a Winery

I like Hamlet. Don't hate.

So, BD had a birthday recently. The big 3-3. I know he wasn't expecting a big to-do, which made it that much more fun to surprise him.

A group of friends agreed to participate in a wine trolley ride with us. I'd long heard how fun these tours were, and BD is a big wine lover, so it seemed the perfect time to give it a try.

BD became suspicious when the babysitter showed up at 10 am on a Sunday. Not exactly her typical shift. Then, one of his friends showed up. Hm. Not exactly his typical shift either. We headed downtown and then I think it all started to click. It was time to partay!

At our first of five winery stops, BD proved what a dedicated student of the liq he is.




I was busy taking pictures of the pretty wine bottles. See that spittoon there? I thought it was for decorative purposes only. So I didn't use it. I really enjoyed Ventana vineyards. Way more than I needed to. Lesson learned.



I can never get a serious pic out of him, but I like this one.


Our ride. There is nothing better than being driven around, lemme tell ya. First thing I would do if I hit it big? Hire a driver. Trolley optional.



We had a great lunch in the garden of one of our next stops. I had to take a picture of Dwayne's lunch. Because people calling BD by the wrong name is funny to me.


I wanted to buy this shirt for about 15 people, but since I'm not wealthy I took a pic to share instead.


Group shot before heading home. By this time, I was feeling quite sassy saucy.


BD thought we were all done when the tour was over, but nope. We had all the trolley-riding folks, plus some, over for a pizza and brew themed extravaganza. I'm not much for party planning, but this seemed to work just fine for my ability level. I even got him a cake!


And I took a picture of it. Because people calling BD by the wrong name is funny to me.
