Winery Hopping

 Sunday was a fun day wine tasting with my friend Tiffany! We went to the Suisun Valley Passport Day. The weather was warm and sunny - the perfect day for winery hopping! Each winery was offering tastings and food pairings. We started at GV Cellars/Galvan Cellars where we both loved their Zinfandel and a red blend. We also had a crab rangoon and asian salad to taste!

 Next, we moved onto Suisun Valley Wine Cooperative where there were five wineries represented. We both liked the Barbera wine from Sunset Cellars and bought a bottle. The prices were really reasonable with most bottles from $15 - $25. This location had BBQ for their food item which was just OK. We made up for it though by bringing cheese and crackers with us from Trader Joe's.

 Our next stop was Ledgewood Creek Winery. This was the funniest location because they had the event in a room with a DJ. The DJ was really chatty and people were drunk dancing so we thought it was like an adult prom. ha! They had nice food items to choose from though including an Ahi Tuna crudo. There was also a Food Network guy there, that we hadn't heard of named James Aptakin?

 Our final stop was Winterhawk Winery where they had a live band playing and served Jumbalaya. The best thing about the tastings at these wineries was that they were pretty much unlimited! We tried anywhere from 4-7 tastings per winery. At Winterhawk, they even gave us a glass of wine, of our choice. So, we were able to sit and just chill out with a drink which was fun.

 Here is a Vineyard Dog named Tucker! So well behaved and chill. Just milled about the crowd.

After wine tasting, we headed back towards Tiffany's house and had a late lunch at Jack's. Our friend Kelsey joined us so it was great to see her. We finished the day with Frozen Yogurt at Coco Swirl. Yum!

I headed home after our wine day excursion to see Evie and Erik. It was a good weekend - we got a lot done, had fun, and relaxed. I can't believe it is only six weeks left until our wedding!! We are making final arrangements for things which is exciting. Thank goodness I like making lists :-)

Shopping Saturday

 Saturday started off right with a workout at the gym and then we headed out to buy some fruits & veggies. We went down to the Alemany Farmer's Market which is near our friends Shannon & Andrew's neighborhood.  We met up with them and did some shopping.

 The market was huge - two long aisle of stalls of different vendors selling fruit and vegetables. We got a ton of oranges, snap peas, and mushrooms. Also, picked up some sweet potatoes for enchiladas I will make this week. Erik also bought a peanut plant so yes, he is going to grow some peanuts.

 I forgot the name of these things but apparently they taste like the inside of a broccoli stalk.

After shopping, we stopped at Trader Joe's to get some groceries for the week instead of making a trip to Safeway. We had lunch & then Erik went out to meet his hockey team to watch the game. I got all of the laundry done and relaxed with Evie for a little while.

We have this picture AT LEAST once per weekend .haha. After lounging, I headed downtown to do some shopping. Got a few things at Forever 21 and Sephora. I came home and made pizza, hung out with Evie, and watched my shows on the DVR while Erik was out partying it up.

Here are the Daffodils we got at Trader Joe's. So pretty!

Lucky 13

Friday after work, my co-workers and I went to Lucky 13 for Happy Hour and to celebrate my co-workers birthday. It is a super divey bar but they have an outdoor patio, free popcorn, AND dogs are allowed in there so what more could you ask for.

 Funky signs on the patio

 Me and the birthday girl, Michelle

 The bar even has a photo booth. Sooooo funny. For some reason, when you try to squeeze four people into a photo booth, it is beyond hilarious!

After HH, we stopped by a burrito place and I brought them home for Erik and I. They were soooo good. I have no idea what the name of the spot was though!

Good way to kick off the weekend!!
