HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!
The day started with Vince, Dad, Mom and I driving to Temecula for a day of wine tasting. I had reserved one of the tour things they have. We started at South Coast Winery & Resort...which is where Jason and Kerry are getting married in Oct. It is a gorgeous winery!!! Took a few pics there while everyone was still sober....then started on our tour of wine country.
We hit 4 winery's on our tour....
1. Longshadow Ranch - a VERY cool, down to earth place where we got to hang out with the owner...and great wine!! Can't wait to come back here!
2. Wilson Creek - where we had lunch....LOVE the famous Almond Champagne!!!! TRY it if you never had!!!! It is our favorite!! We drink it by the gallon (ok, not really, but we would if we could) A fun time there!!!
3. Briar Rose Winery - a little too cutesy for us....very Disney-ish!! Pretty grounds, requires private reservations....but we didn't like the wine.
4. Mount Palomar Winery - another nice place!!! Great wine there, big & beautiful grounds!!! Oh, and they served Bud Light (out of the can, but we made sure to put it in a wine glass for Dad)!!!!! The highlight of Dad's day so far!
After wine tasting, we were going to "stop by" Gina & Bill's house so Mom could pick up her birthday gift. Little did she know, we had a surprise party planned for her. I think she was just a bit surprised! :) Most of the family made it out, as well as all the Sparks and Kent and Tammy from Phoenix!
We spent the night drinking, eating, dancing, singing...more dancing, more drinking....you get the idea!! It was a BLAST!!!! After much drinking, we got Brad out on the dance floor...aka Gina's living room....to do his Michael Jackson impression!! Then we couldn't really get him off!! The rest of the night, no matter what the song, the dancing consisted of more than one MJ move. Vince and the Spark boys...yes, all of them (except poor Riley who was asleep upstairs)....loved showing us how it was done! Brent DJ'd....Mom made sure everyone was dancing...and you know she is persistent!!! We heard the "You WILL dance because it is my birthday and I said so!" quite a few times.....Bill made sure everyone was drinking....and I made sure I was capturing it all on camera!! There are about 10 different videos that I could have put on here, but this one...the last of the night...pretty much summed it all up!! This was the guy's Boy George song....Karma Cameleon....as you can see, they only knew one line, but they sang it soooo well!!! (Turn your computer volume up really loud and you can kinda hear it) Don't miss Kent's slow booty dance half way thru.....Or Mike's booty exposure to end it all!
Here are just a few pics from the night....PLEASE click on the Photo link over on the right to see them all.....it was a truly fun time!!!
