This morning Jessi tried a beginner ballet class at a new studio. We love the studio she goes to now and are planning on staying but they don't have a beginner ballet class that fits her schedule so one of the owners suggested this other one to us. She really enjoyed it too, so I'm happy that she gave it a chance.
Then we headed to lunch (and a girls day out) with our cousin, Paula, at a new Thai place by us that Mike and I ate at for our date lunch earlier in the week and loved. It wasn't yet open yet, so we meandered into the nearby local wine shop and browsed for 30 minutes until we could eat. They have a great selection of wines that I don't often see elsewhere so it's always fun too look around. I bought two bottles, the Mamamango (a moscato & mango blend) and the Lobetia Tempranillo. They told us they have a weekly wine tasting at 2. <<I'm in!>>
Then we went to lunch where I <gasp> forgot to take photos of our lunch (hahaha!). All of our meals were delicious! Paula ordered Pad Thai, J got veggie fried rice, and I had veggie Ka Prow. Yum!
After that we got our toes painted various shades of blue. Jessi picked all of the colors for each of us. It was fun to catch up on life and make plans together for upcoming weeks.
Then right when we were finished it was 1:55pm... Just in time for the wine tasting next door. We tried the 4 they had available and I had a hard time deciding which one to get. I liked the first three but didn't care for the last one. In the end, I opted for the Anarkos but I have a feeling I'll be back for the white too. I'm tempted to join their wine club. They are so nice there, and knowledgable, and not at all snooty or condescending. Is it wrong to want to pencil in Saturdays @ 2pm for wine tastings on my calendar?!
The boys had their own time too filled with Tae Kwon Do and Best Buy. And Ryan made the decision to forgo playing spring baseball (after 6 seasons). It feels like an end of an era. He loves TWD so much (and is really good at it) that I don't know that he'll ever go back to baseball. He loves being active and I don't think baseball grabbed his attention and kept it and allowed him to be as active as he likes to be (there's a lot of waiting and watching, after all) so for right now TWD is really working for him.
I'm looking forward to seeing the Lincoln movie on my date night tonight with Mike. This doesn't happen often so I'm really excited at getting some time together just the two of us.
