We went wine tasting yesterday, if you couldn't tell. It was really a lot of fun, and I learned some really good techniques for tasting wines! I reaffirmed that I am a white wine girl, and I discovered that apparently I like rosé wine. I bought a bottle of it at Plum Creek, and I also bought a bottle of the cherry wine and the plum wine at Carlson's. Now I just have to figure out how I'm going to get it home, since I carried my luggage on the plane (so not paying $15 each way to check my bags). Carol and I are going to call some shipping places today to see if they are open, since it's Memorial Day, to try and get the wine shipped tomorrow. I want to break into those bottles, so I hope I can get them home soon!

I also had Thai food for the first time yesterday, and it actually wasn't bad! I don't know what I was picturing it to be like, but it was good. The dish I got ended up being too spicy, so I switched with Steve, because he ordered his spicy but it wasn't at all. It was good. I liked the Pad Thai the best, though, which is what Carol got. Then we decided to stop on in at Cold Stone and have some ice cream, because I mean it was right there and how could we just pass it up? :) Then we went back to the house, soaked in the hot tub for a while, and watched Mamma Mia!. It was really corny, but entertaining. What can I say? I'm easily entertained.

I'm going home today, so I get to get back on the dreaded Dash 8 plane... it really wasn't as bad as I was expecting the first time, though, so I'm not too worried about it this time. I think all will be ok.

That's about all I have, I'm passing out again. Good night/morning.
