What a great weekend. Finally a weekend revolving around Rob and me. Friday, we went to the movies. You'll laugh, but we saw Bee Movie. I loved it. It was fun and humorous. Rob even said he enjoyed it. Who woudl have thought?

Saturday I worked 9 hours and Rob had peace and quiet at home. My mom dropped off my girlfriend's wedding gift for me. This may sound crazy, but I'm very excited to have received a DYSON for a wedding gift. I may never use it - Rob does the cleaning - but it will be the last vacuum I purchase for at least a decade! Of course, I used it on our area rug and then went to empty it....oops! pushed the button and the bottom falls out. Rob shoo'd me away and cleaned up my mess...as usual. Of course, it is the only upright not designed for 'animals'. We don't have animals yet but they are on the list of things "I want". (Which happens to be a very long list).

Next we did our T-day shopping. I figured late on Saturday night would be the best time and it was. No lines, no fuss, no muss. We had fun planning our first holiday dinner at our house. I'm really looking forward to it!

Sunday was even better. One of the attorneys we used to work with was having their Grand Opening at their vineyard in Loudoun County Virginia. We started with Bluemont Vineyard. That really set the bar for the day. The service was great, the view breathtaking and the wine was delicious! So glad I was able to drink! We bought 4 bottles to support our friend.

Next, we headed over to Corcoran Vineyards. We went there simply to buy a bottle and send to Rob's friend with the thank you note. We really had a great time with the owner there. It was pretty crowded at first but it cleared out with perfect timing for the 3 of us just to chat away for a bit. They had a grat Malbec paired with truffles and a sweet wine that when you plop a lime in it WOW! We walked with 4 bottles from here as well.

Next stop was Loudoun Valley Vineyard. This one was a bit of a dissapointment. All of the wines were way sweet - even for me. We did find two whites that we could enjoy so we bought one of each.

Finally, I've had enough wine. We headed to Leesburg for a nice dinner of burgers and a corn and crab chowder that was so so yummy!

We need more weekends like this.
