day #39: la vina

ahhh, the sight of a vineyard, the smell and feel of fall, and the taste of wine. i always look forward to la vina's wine festival every year. they actually have 2 of them, to open the season and close it. last spring, i was unable to go, so bein that i got to go this time and share the experience with my sister, was super great. we were gonna leave the house here at 10 to get there at 1030, but i was runnin late, and thank goodness i was. the gates didnt open til noon, so needless to say, we were like the 6th and 7th person thru the gates, lol. the festival consists of wine tastin, arts and crafts booths, carnival like food, and live music. morgan and i circled the booths, tryin to control our spendin urge. my reason bein i had a couple bottles of wine to buy! i already knew which types of wine i liked, so the tastin was just a matter of drinkin. i loved bein able to sip on some wine, walk around, enjoy the live music and great conversation with my sister. moments to treasure, for sure. i miss that girl, so when she's around, we try to be civil and have a great time. jk, its always a great time with her.
the pic below is, well, it was taken at the wine festival. just a lil reminder of our splendid day together!
