Sad Halloween

I am quite sad today, it's official that Rene and I aren't making costumes for Halloween this year.


With the trip to Orlando and UCF's tradition of super early morning tailgating on game days plus the homecoming parade if we get to campus on time...we figure that going out at night is a shot in the dark if we will "last" that long.


So I guess out super awesome idea will be held off until next year...*tear*

What I'm Loving Wednesday

It's Wednesday (Hump Day) over half way done with the week...and what a week it has been already!

I'm loving the weather! It is cooling down in Texas…hopefully for good this time. We woke up to low 50’s today and don’t get me wrong that’s COLD but I could deal with 70-80’s and sun like we had last weekend for the UCF Game.

I'm loving that I am mid way through the Fall 2011 Semester!! At least after my Managerial Finance mid-term today….Only 1.5 semesters to go!! I register for the Spring next week already!

Only 7 more working days before I am headed to Orlando for Homecoming!! It might be a quick trip but a little vacay is going to be well deserved!

What I'm loving most is that with our flight on October 28^th it officially marks the end…or rather break in Rene’s busy season!! His company files at the end of the day and that means no more 11:30pm or later nights at work for at least a little while!!!

Back to Napa! Recap #2!

So after we left Clos du Bois stop #1 we had some time to kill before our next tasting. We were in Sonoma County so we made our way back to Napa and just picked a random vineyard/tasting room to stop by....stop 2 was Signorello Estate.

We pulled up the drive past the vineyards to the little tasting room and decided to go with the current release flight to taste a little of everything.
Then the man who was providing us the tasting asked if we had been back to the patio yet. Of course we hadn't so he gave us an extra glass of Chardonnay and we walked onto the patio....

The view was wonderful and I decided that when I have a house a pool like this is a must!

I was glad with our in prompt to stop at this little tasting room it was really a nice surprise.

Napa Recap #1

Well here is the first of the Napa re-caps! Sorry for taking over a week to get it posted--work has been a killer this past week.

Our first vineyard visit was Clos du Bios! It was a little over an hour from the hotel but well worth the drive!

We did an amazing tasting and blending seminar which included lots of red wines yum!

We spent around 2 hours here just enjoying it and taking pictures after the tasting/tour. I really liked the red wines here especially the zin, we had really only drank the Chardonnay from Clos du Bois because it's the only white while Rene will really drink!

Needless to say we walked out "members" of the winery and will be getting 3 bottles shipped from their reserve collection each quarter--and free tastings when we go back *clearly a reason to plan trip #2 right?*

Don't worry many more to come!
