My weekend was great. J and I packed up, and spent Friday night w/ M & J, and their puppy Aadon (happens to be Beene's brother from another litter; same parents). After eating some grub, we cracked open the Melon Skyy Vodka we brought them, and played the Mexican Train Game. If you've never had a chance to play this, you should get on that. After a few rounds we got bored and switched to a game of truth or dare. Tops were shed, whip cream applied. It couldn't have been funner with any other couple. Those girl crack me up. We got to bed alot later than planned but managed to get up at 5:30am and make it out the door by 6:15ish. After a brief stop at Jack in the Crack for breakfast, and a pit stop to check the tires, we were on our way.
We made it to our camp site after a short detour through farm coutry. The site was practically a resort as far as Im concerned. There were nice showers, and bathrooms cleaned daily by a cleaning service. Our camp site was big, and spacious w/ water, AND electricity plug ins. Its about a 5 minute walk from a HUGE lake/resevoir/marina, so we swam and floated on our blow up mattress a lot. Sunday we toured some wineries, and tried to escape the bees that took a liking to J's sweetness. Monday we got up super early b/c it was so hot, and went down to the lake and layed out in the sun. Having nothing really to do until the show, we went back to our favorite winery and drank more, ate cheese and crackers w/ fruit.
The whole purpose of this trip was to see Ani diFranco at Secret House Winery, and it was AWESOME. We were about 30 yards away from the stage, thats SO close for GA Ani concert apparently. She talked to the crowd a lot (which she doesn’t do normally) specifically about her new pregnancy and it was a really good time. Tuesday we got up early, packed out and made it back into town about 11:30am. Normally its almost a 6 hour drive, but we did it in less than 4 with no traffic.
It was good to come home, and pick up the dogs. I had such a great 4 days away, spending time with my love. It was probably the best vacation I've ever had.
THIS WEEKEND: Ani show at Marymoore!!! Hempfest at the Seattle Center.
