Finding a Balance Between
"Me-Hood" and "Motherhood"

From raising special needs children, family vacations, marriage, relationships, sex, cooking, local to-do, school (both for you and the children), working, hiring a daycare provider, arts and crafts, decorating, holidays, to well... EVERYTHING!

Wine Tasting Virgin

Now don’t hate me because I got to go wine tasting this weekend, or because I went in a limo, or because it was free. Hate me for the amazing dinner, dancing and Karaoke that went on the night before!

 

I had a wonderful weekend with all my in-laws to celebrate my sister-in-law turning 40. We had a beautiful dinner in Placerville complete with open bar, wine named after her, an amazing DJ and yes, Karaoke. My sister-in-law is SUCH a good singer in fact that it liberates the rest of us to totally suck. Since we know there’s no WAY we’ll ever even compare, we just croak and gyrate our hearts out. It was such a fun evening.

 

The next day she rented two large limos to take us all wine tasting through Amador County. It was my first time wine tasting at a winery and my second time ever in a limo. Luckily for me my husband knows how easily I get car sick and I was the only one to take Dramamine. Something the rest of the group was greatly regretting (especially after the open bar the night before). No one got sick, but it was close.

 

Where was our son the whole time you may be thinking? Why playing mini-golf with grandpa! He’s not a drinker and they had some amazing 1:1 time at Monster Golf in Folsom. They then went out to a great lunch and had wonderful conversation together. After that Papa even took him out driving in an empty parking lot! Can you get more “summer day with Papa” than that!?!? It was his first time and Papa said he did great. My son won at mini golf.

 

It was a fun-filled, packed to the brim weekend… I was wishing all the moms from the site were with me in the limo though. Enjoy some of the pictures!

It looks like you guys had a blast!  You all should do it again next year for her 41st birthday.

I love limos! I got one for my sister's bachelorette party last year and it was so much fun.

It sounds like a great weekend. I'm glad you had such a good time and that your son got some quality time with his grandpa. So cool!

It WAS great (car sickness from the family aside). I love all the fun family activities of summer and am grateful my sister-in-law has enough money to do such an amazing bash.
