Tony's Pre-birthday

This week is Tony's pre-birthday. We worked most of last week and finally had the weekend off. So we started by getting up on friday, rushing to get to dinner and then off to see Blades of Glory at the most ghetto theater ever, in fact it was worse than old fairlane movies, so bad that when we walked in i said out loud ' are we gonna get killed?'

We didn't although i almost died laughing... that was by far one of the funniest movies that i have seen in a long time.

After the movie we raced home and tried our hardest to go to bed because we had early plans.

Of course, since Tony and i are like little kids, we couldn't sleep because we were excited ( and i had a hot stomach.)

So we got up around 4:30 ish even though we didn't need to be up until 6:30. Packed our little overnight bag and we ready to go to Napa.

We met our friends-who happen to live in the apartment complex right next to ours) and headed out.

Our wine tour started at 10:30am...We met some other friends for a total of 7 folks ( along with some creepy people that we didn't know) to take a shuttle bus tour to 4 different wineries.

The first winery we hit was the Andretti winery, yes Mario Andretti's and i have to say that it had by far some of the best wine that i have ever had... and that is also where the ER nurses began our journey to headaches.

After that we went to Jessup's. This place was reminiscent of the early double olive, good music, nice people ( before it became a sleazy dude hangout)

we had some good wines, but to be honest, after the first tasting-once our pallets were wet with wine, they all started to taste the same.

Once we got back on the bus, the same woman that told us we should have fun, then told us that we were 'a little loud' and the next winery wouldn't serve us if we stayed that way...

That place sucked... everyone was super stuck up and stodgy.

but we drank their wine anyway :) and then took photos like we were SERIOUS wine tasters

and then had lunch there.

The last winery was Oakville, it was nice, we got to taste outside on picnic tables and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Once we got back to our original meeting area ( long after one of guest discretely vomited in a paper bag) the 4 of us went to dinner ( Anthony, Brandy, Tony and myself) while the others went home.

We had a few glasses of wine at dinner and then went to the hotel that we had booked.

Planning on taking a little nap and then going out that night, we all fell fast asleep....and woke up around 10:30...

so we turned the key in, checked out of the hotel and headed back home!

This morning we went to the farmer's market, got some great flowers and fruit and then took ourselves out to lunch for Pho.

Tony and i then took a little nap ( i think we need a nap intervention) and then went for a bikeride around the bayshore, where we found a place that we can rent paddleboats, windsurfing sails, kayaks, and canoes!!! JACKPOT! i know what we will be doing on our next day off ( well our next day off next week, since this week's days off are planned for Yosemite!!!)
