Weekend In Wine Country

This past weekend Carl and I took a quick trip to Sonoma. My best friend from high school, Kim, is celebrating her 40^th birthday this month and her husband Sean went all out.

The first weekend in May, Sean hosted a surprise party at his home. Their backyard is gorgeous, perfect for entertaining and we had a chance to catch up with a bunch of girls from drill team, DHS class of ‘88 whoo-hoo!

But that was just the amuse bouche, because last week and weekend Sean hosted a group of friends in Sonoma at Villa Sobre. This picture of Kim is taken from the front porch of the villa with the amazing view behind her. I’ve included a link if you want to check out the villa for yourself just in case you need to plan a surprise 40^th birthday sometime soon.

Carl and I only made it for the weekend part but had a completely amazing time. One of the highlights was a visit to J Vineyards & Winery where we enjoyed a tasting menu paring in the Bubble Room. Needless to say we got a bit louder as each course was severed but luckily never asked to leave. I’ve included a picture of Kim and Sean in the Bubble Room.

We had a fabulous time and were totally worn out when we got home. We owe Leslie, Brian, Jamie, Karen (twice) and Mom a Big Thank You for taking care of the twins while we traveled. It takes a village and we thank you village!
