The beautiful birthday girl




We finished 4 bottles! (there were 7 of us) we were super happy right after!

Happy Monday!! Over this past weekend, I drove up to DC and celebrated my friend’s birthday. Hubby was so sweet and took care of Kaylee while this momma went on a mini vaca. We went to a cute little winery called Bull Run in Centerville, VA. The weather was absolutely beautiful and had light breezes throughout the day. We wine tasted and then ordered a few of bottles of wine to sip on while we were soaking up some sun. I had such a great time, a little bit too much fun since I was a bit tipsy after just 2 glasses! I am definitely a lightweight and a very inexperienced wine drinker!

Have you been to a winery? It was my first time and I definitely want to go back again! I am really busy with different projects here and there which keeps me behind on blogging. Thanks for visiting and allowing me to share my weekend with you. Have a great week!

    Lovely vintage-y photos. Glad you got to visit and celebrate with your friends! I've been to a winery once and since I'm not an alcohol drinker, I consumed WAY too much wine and immediately passed out once I got in the car. Quite funny since it was the first birthday celebration with my now-husband. It was like our 4th date or something ;)

Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule. ~Frederick W. Robertson Our home is not big nor fancy but just cozy enough for our lil family. So grateful that we did not get affected by hurricane Sandy and prayers to anyone north of us that was affected. Happy Wednesday and Happy Halloween! Taking Kaylee trick or treating tonight!
