A Winey Weekend!

Tyson, Jenny and me having the best day ever!

Life has been crazy busy lately so I took my daughter Taylor's advice and escaped for the weekend leaving my computer, paperwork and deadlines behind. My son Tyson and his girlfriend Jenny and I hopped in the car and drove 4 hours north to Paso Robles. Wine Country. If you know me, you know that my favorite things in the whole wide world are family, friends, junk, horses, wine and coffee. In that order.


Paso Robles Inn

With a little help from my new friends, Three Speckled Hens, we were able to plan a last minute trip that was the perfect get-a-way! Wine tour on the west side of town that included great vineyards, wineries and tasting rooms. Our designated driver and tour guide was Dustin from the Wine Line. We were fortunate to get the last 2 rooms at the historic Paso Robles Inn in charming downtown Paso.

I
met these amazing women at Farm Chicks in Spokane this past summer and knew we would hit it off! I am planning to visit their vintage sale next April in Paso Robles and am excited to meet all 70 vendors. I hear they throw quite the shindig!

Proulx Tasting Room

Susi's family owns Proulx an extraordinary winery and we were treated to a private tasting while we watched the sun set over the spectacular countryside.

Dinner at Artisan, a few short blocks from our hotel was just the right ending to our day. Early to bed, since we were headed to San Luis Obispo the following morning for a little junking at the incredible Remnants of the Past show.

Tyson and I, happy as clams and loading the goods

Family, friends, junk, wine and coffee. Can't get any better than that!
Cheers,
Ki


P.S. Taylor was very jealous when she saw the pics so she will be sure to come along next trip!

  2. I am so.o.o.o. jealous.

    I would love a little fun in the sun with friends, family, wine and coffee.

    You are one lucky girl.

    me, I'm still at it.... 12 + hour days, but I must tell you, I end everyday with family and wine and start the next with coffee and friends....

    I'm still jealous about the sun...

    thanks for the post it made me smile.
