Fun, Friendship, and Good Wine!

We had a great time this weekend! The air cleared just a little and the temps dropped significantly. The weather Gods must have known we had big plans this weekend so they made sure everything was nice.

Jose and his new bride Amie made the trek up from San Jose to spend the day Saturday wine tasting in California's Shenandoah Valley in Amador county. The primary grape that grows in that region is Zinfandel, and that made me plenty happy! It was a nice day, lots of getting to know each other, and much laughter.

To make the weekend double special, Diana drove up from the bay area to spend the day with Mason. This of course means the world to me, but Mason also thought it was pretty cool that Aunt Diana came over just to see him. After our day in Amador, we all had dinner out in the backyard, made s'mores, sat in the hot tub, and wrapped up the evening around the fire until we were dry and extremely tired. Nice, huh?

I hope you are carving out some time this summer for your family and friends and taking advantage of the long days and warm nights. Do tell, what are you doing this summer?

"I count myself in nothing else so happy as in a soul rememb'ring my good friends." - William Shakespeare
