Arrington Vineyards Arrington Vineyards Arrington Vineyards Arrington Vineyards
Can be crossed of the list! We visited Arrington Vineyards (Kix Brooks' winery) about a month or so ago on a day that was sunny, but still pretty cold. I'm learning that even when you plan ahead, things like this are pretty tough with a little one. I did my wine tasting alone while Jon walked a cranky Wren around the grounds, then we had a pretty stressful little picnic outside while Wren cried and cried (and cried) until she finally fell asleep. During the silence that followed, we sipped one of Kix Brooks' red wines, ate sandwiches we picked up from Panera Bread and enjoyed the view. All in all, it definitely wasn't the peaceful, relaxing day I had expected, but at least the photos are pretty, right? ;)

Wishing you all a great weekend. The weather should be nice here, so I'm hoping to get out and enjoy some more sunshine - maybe even scratch a few more things off the old birthday list!

Jazz on the Lawn Jazz on the Lawn
Can be crossed off the list! A few weeks ago, we went to the very last Jazz on the Lawn of the season, and even though it wasn't technically jazz music (it was a 70s cover band), it was still a good time. Everyone brings mini tables and loads them up with snacks and bottles of wine and sits around them in circles, chatting while the band plays.

It was a chilly night so we brought along extra hot Pumpkin Spice Lattes, but they didn't compare to sipping on a nice bottle of Cab Sav. ;) We'll definitely have to go again next year when we can sample some of what Beachaven Winery has to offer!
