DeLeon Dialogue: The Big 3-0… part III

Saturday morning we headed over to Penfold for breakfast. Fortunately we were sat right away. By the time we woke up and got ready we were so hungry. Shawn and I both ordered the same thing. After a night of drinking “The Mess: Everything but the kitchen sink” sounded fabulous. It came with a huge plate of biscuits and gravy. So Good! Neither of us ate even half of our meal but it was perfect.

Our bellies were full and it was time to try some wineries out. We headed back to our hotel and got a cab to a winery. Our first stop was Hart Winery. It was small and cozy. The people were very down to earth. We enjoyed their wine and the history.

We checked out where they bottle and label their wine bottles. Very cool. I looked into taking a group tour to the wineries but I just didn’t want be rushed or on their schedule. plus I wasn’t planning to go to every winery or even half of them. A few was perfect. We also looked into a personal shofar. Definitely pricey as you could imagine. So We decided lets just get a cab. The cab cost us 50 bucks round trip including tip vs. the 350 for the shofar. Our next destination was Callaway winery. More elegant and modern looking. Very expensive look to it for sure. Callaway did have the most amazing views. We had such a great time just chillin’ around the winery. There was a restaurant but we wanted to eat in Old Town instead. Plus the food was a little too fancy for me.

After the wineries we headed to Old Town. We stopped by this little bar called wine and beer garden. Not sure if this is a biker bar, but there were a ton of them. It was a cool place, they had a great selection of beer on tap.

After a few beers we decided to get some lunch. We ended up at Front Street Bar and Grill.

We sat on the patio, the weather was perfect. We enjoyed some great beer, Abbey Road from Refuge brewery. A local brewery. Chicken alfredo pizza for an app and then shared some tasty sliders. Once we ate we headed back to Crush & Brew for some wine/beer. We were both exhausted and decided to call it a night. We got a cab back to the hotel and were asleep by 8. Felt great. Side note: Shawn was in charge of holding the wine glasses we got from the wineries we visited. Unfortunately, he forgot them in the cab Sad smile . Our cab driver ended up dropping them off at our hotel, so we got them back. Thank Goodness. I really wanted a souvenir. The next morning after about 12 hours of much needed sleep we headed to Swing Inn Café. It’s a small diner that the locals frequent so we knew it was consistently good. Best breakfast I’ve had in a long time! Then we decided to shop at some antique shops. I ended up getting a really funky cool cake thingy. Not sure what its called but it has the glass lid that you could put pastries in, anyway. I like it! We headed back home shortly after so we could get home at a decent time.

… can’t wait to visit you again Temecula. After all its only 5 hrs from our house!

Beautiful views on the way home.

Home Sweet Home

We met up with Shawn’s parents at Fat Willy’s to get the girls. Since it was St. Patrick’s Day we decided to hang out and have a beer. It was way too crowded so we changed our mind and headed home for some green beer and delivery pizza.

The next morning, my actual Birthday, I woke up to lots of hugs and kisses and my angels singing “Happy Birthday” Priceless! We hung out and were lazy all day. Well I did go shopping at Nordstrom Rack. Shawn did all the laundry and my other Monday chores.

Birthday kisses xoxo

The girls enjoyed playing in the sprinklers and sunbathing.

We headed to Joe’s Farm Grill for Linner. Love it!

yummy zucchini

Shawn opted for the bbq platter. I got Ahi sandwich. Highly recommended!

The girls shared grilled cheese with french fries.

Not many places can you sprawl out to stretch on a blanket. I had a great time.

This past weekend I went out with a few friends in Scottsdale for a continued celebration. Whoo hoo for girls night. We started out at Saddle ranch. Then we headed to Martini Ranch. We danced in the upstairs area for awhile and then made our way down stairs to watch the band. Which was awesome! I ended up getting on stage to dance and sing “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” We ended up the night walking back to the car barefoot. It was fun!
