What a weekend! I was sooo upset about leaving the girls, but got in a really good bathroom cry before we left. We left my house at 1:00 with me, Jess, Kelly, mom, and Aunt Lori. We arrived at S.C. Winery and Resort and started wine tasting before we even went to our room. The resort was beautiful... vineyards, rolling hills, orange groves... it was so picturesque. We went to a great dinner that night after Sharon and Holly met us. After dinner we went to a local bar/club. Between biker guys and dikes(not to affend anyone, but you really had to see these people) to swingers to so-called transexuals, we had some seriously good people watching. After draging Aunt Sharon off stage, we got back to our room around 2:00am. Up at 8:00 to get ready for wine tasting. Everyone that lives around here needs to go. We used the Grapeline shuttle and had the best tour guide. He knew the owners or caretakers at 3 of the 4 wineries, so got special treatment and it was fabulous. My sister had a great time. She was so thankful and appriciative that it made me wish I could have done more. She left last night, boo, but will be back April 4th for her shower that weekend... round 2!!!! And sorry, I can't be witty or funny today. We had a bunch of people over last night to see my sis. We had a ton of fun, but I stayed up till 10:00pm cleaning and organizing my goodies from the weekend. And then, OF COARSE, I was up with my porky pig Abby from 3:30 to 5:30. She is torturing for leaving for the weekend. I did squeeze in a 20 minute nap before Ruby woke up, I guess I should be grateful - NAHH. Thanks to everyone who came and my my sisters weekend so special!

I had such a great time getting away with just the girls! It was really special to see my 21 year old daughter, Holly reconnect with her cousins, she had not hung out with in Quite along time! She loves being 21. I also had a great time getting to know the best friends! Kelly's a kick! It was so cool of Jeana and Kelly to sleep on the air mattresses! They never even complained! The wine tour was so great, I brought many good bottles home with me.
