A Great Day on Saturday...

Saturday was date night for DH and I. For my bday, DH signed me up for a "wine of the month" club membership at Wine's by Jennifer. The month of your bday you get a free wine tasting so we headed up to Parkville, MO around 3:00 in the afternoon.

The wines for this week's wine tasting were good for the bbq. We had tastes of 3 whites and 3 reds. We also got a cheese tray and I forgot to get a picture of that. They were delicious though...a black pepper cheddar, a horseradish cheddar, and a garlic cheddar. MMMMMmmmm...

Here's dh sniffing the wine...first analyze the color, then smell to discern the various aromas in the wine, and then swirl...finally, TASTE!!!

It was a gorgeous day by then (the clouds/rain had left us) so we chose to have a glass of wine and sit out on one of many decks at "Wines by Jennifer".

Next we went down the street to "The Power Plant". A little dinner was in order...we sat outside on the rooftop there and enjoyed a wonderful meal.

I had marinated chicken wrap with a side salad...YUMMY!!!


We headed toward home and chose to stop at Old Chicago.

A little beer and trivia were in order!

We also watched the Celtics beat the Pistons...WOOHOO!!! This is Kevin Garnett with Bill Russell...a legend of the past and a legend in the making!

Last but not least...our friendly bartender, Grant! Thanks for taking such great care of us Grant!

We finally made it home around 10:00! It was a PERFECT date! Love you hon!!!

FUN FUN FUN in Chicago...

I'm back...TIRED but BLESSED!!!!! We had such an AMAZING time with Kevin!!! We picked him up at his apartment and drove to our hotel downtown Chicago. Then we watched some NCAA basketball before going to eat. We ate at Rock Bottom Brewery because I get a 40% discount on food and savings on beer as well! Great food AND great beer AND great service there...we eat/drink there every day! After dinner, Steve and Kevin went to their concert, Little Feat, and I visited with a gal at the hotel bar before heading up to the room to relax and watch MORE basketball!!!

Friday Kev joined us for shopping and dinner and relaxing. His roommate joined us for dinner as well. Again, an enjoyable evening...even if it was SNOWING like mad!

Saturday Kevin had to work and he joined us at Rock Bottom for "Rockfest". Basically, for $20/person (all proceeds going to MDA) you got to taste 56 different beers (we didn't taste ALL of them) from Rock Bottoms brewers around the area and the vote for your favorite one! It was a lot of fun and i think several people DID drink ALL of them! LOL

Here are a few pics to share...
This one is Steve, myself, and Kev sharing his first legal beer that we bought him!

Here we are with his birthday shot! YUMMY!!!!!

The three of us at the beer tasting!

Like father like son!!! Just being silly boys!!!

Nothing like making new friends! LOL...we have no clue who these guys are but Kev wanted his picture taken with them!

Here is DH and I at the tasting! We are happy! :oD

Now we are home and I'll have to work EXTRA hard to take the pounds that I gained off! But it was well worth it!
