We just got back from California and we had a blast. We left on Friday and Nic got to experience his first flight with a two year old. Nic did great but Mom was a little stressed out! :) The airlines have changed a bit since i last flew so i was shocked to see that they now charge for extra bags and also charge for skycap. So it was a little stressful at the beginning but Dom was great on the flight and him and I rocked out to my Ipod.
When we landed we went to my dad's and then left from there to go Wine Tasting with my sister Lindsey and her boyfriend Ray. Our first stop was Tobin James Winery and that is where we bought the most wine. The guy who was serving us our wine was quite the chatter box, we weren't sure if he was getting paid to talk or to pour our wine. Regardless we got some great wine and then headed to the Cass Winery. This was my least favorite of the Wineries but we bought one great bottle of dessert wine and also got some great pictures in their Special Wine Tasting room. Our last stop was called Sculptera Winery and they had some amazing bronze statues. The guy who poured was the son of the owner and took great care of us and even let us go look at where they stored their wine. He told us each barrel sits for a year or more before they distribute it. Wine tasting was a huge success and after that we headed back to my dad's and waited for them to get home from taking Dom to a car show. Once my dad got home we visited for a bit and then Nic and I headed to bed to get some rest for the big Birthday/Graduation bash.
The next day Nic and I cooked breakfast for the Fam and then we all helped get everything ready for the party. Nic and I volunteered to be the Bartenders for the night and we had a great time. At first i was really nervous because i had no idea what i was doing but by the end of the night Nic and I had a pretty good system going. Bartending was also a great way for Nic to meet everyone. Nic and I decided that we deserved tips so we got out a tip jar and ended up making almost $50.00. We were pretty stoked. Nic was a hit and all i heard all night was how cute he was and how nice and "wow what a nice body" :) I expected nothing different since i love and adore the guy.
Dominik was quite the hit also, it must be all the nights of watchin So You think You Can Dance because Dominik was busting out moves i had never seen on the dance floor. It was the cutest thing ever. He was doing flips and spinning all over the place it was great. Everybody loved it. Sunday came and Nic and I had to decide how we were going to smuggle 11 bottles of wine home. Nic had the brilliant idea to borrow and extra suitcase so we ended up wrapping all the bottles in some clothes and got all the wine home safe and sound. We were pretty darn thrilled with ourselves. Our trip to California was awesome and it was nice to introduce Nic to my family and to show him where i came from. Stay tuned because we are Water Rafting in Moab next weekend. Nic leaves Monday night and I will meet up with him on Thursday.
