Leavenworth Girls Getaway

Girls weekends are the best.  They really are.  I just returned from a weekend in Leavenworth with my besties.  We had a relaxing weekend filled with sun, wine tasting, eating delicious food, and shopping!  What could be better?  I always return from my girls weekends recharged and ready to take on the upcoming week.

We wine tasted at a few different wineries that I had not been to before.  We checked out Patterson Cellars, Icicle Ridge, John Patrick and Milbrandt.  I think I bought a Rose' from each one!  SO good!  🍷

We lucked out with some absolutely perfect weather.  Just warm enough to wear shorts/ tanks and sit outside to enjoy the views.  

We did a spirit tasting at Blue Spirits Distillery.  It was my first spirits tasting and it was so fun!  They made little tiny drinks out of every tasting so we could actually taste it is a drink we would normally drink.  I bought the cucumber vodka, it was so crisp and refreshing!  I can't wait to have it in a cocktail on my deck this summer!

Sunny weekend in Manson

We just returned from our annual spring weekend in Manson.  We lucked out with some absolutely beautiful, warm weather.  We arrived Friday afternoon and went straight to the pool with drinks in hand.  Heaven!  Our friends Elisabeth, Sherman and their two boys arrived later that evening.

There was a casino event in town so it seemed like everyone must have been gambling.  The kids had the pool and hot tub to themselves!  They had a blast and played so well together.

 We did a little exploring and playing on the beach.  Manson is such a cute little town!

 We visited Tunnel Hill Winery for the first time.  The grounds were beautiful and had a lot of space for the kids to run around and explore.  They even had a playground out front, which meant it was much easier for the parents to enjoy wine tasting in peace!

Saturday night the girls sat by the pool while the guys grilled steak and shrimp and the kids swam.  We talked (dreamed) about retirement plans and where we should be snowbirds at.  Absolutely perfect end to a fun day.

 Sunday was beautiful weather as well.  We shopped a little at a local boutique while the hubbies and kids played downstairs in the "mancave."  We walked downtown to Alta Cellars and enjoyed mimosas/ sangria while they kids drew on the sidewalk with chalk.  We ended the weekend celebrating Cinco De Mayo with mexican food and beers/ margaritas at a new mexican food place in town.  My fav!  

The weekend went too fast!  It was so much fun catching up with great friends and watching the kids make so many new memories.  See you next year Manson!

Color Run

Rylee and Carson both participated in the Color Run at their school last week after earning money for their schools PTA fundraiser.  They ran laps around the field and at the end were attacked with silly string and bright colored powder.  Then they got to sit in the sun and enjoy shave ice with their friends.  So Fun!

Hoppy Easter!

 We spent Easter weekend out at my parents beach house and got lucky with some nice weather.  We decorated eggs (the adults were really into it this year!), played on the beach and went fishing, played cards, and the kids got in lots of cousin and family time.  The Easter bunny hid lots of eggs too.  Rylee put two and two together and figured out that the Easter bunny is Papa.  😆  Carson still isn't quite so sure.

 Sweet little Kennedy had her first Easter egg hunt.  She could care less about the eggs and just wanted to watch her cousins play.

 Rylee and Kennedy definitely share a special bond.  They love each other so much.  Its so sweet to see them together.  💓

Happy Easter!
