Wine Away.....

Thanks to my Mom & Dad, Jeff & I had a MUCH needed getaway. Jeff starts his new job on Tuesday & the obvious: twinfants!! haha Although we were only gone for about 30 hrs., it definitely rejuvinated each of us (and our relationship.) We decided to do one of our favorite things... wine tasting!! We went up to the Santa Ynez region & despite it being somewhat dry & hot, it's always gorgeous up there. We hit a couple wineries in Solvang (LOVED Stolpman!), a few more way out in the boonies & then went to downtown Los Olivos. Jeff got to do a beer tasting so that was different & fun.

We had a great dinner recommendation for Italian but we were both in the mood for a steak so we went to the 'ol favorite, The Hitching Post. It was sooooo good & relaxing too. (Nice to not feel the need to rush to get back to babysitters.) We decided against going to the casino & opted for going to bed @ 10 & woke up @ 8:30! Funny how things change. We had such a great time but also missed the girls like crazy. Here's a couple pics:
