Yesterday was such a great day. We woke up, the sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. I decided right then that we should go to the beach and enjoy the weather seeing as it was going to be 79 degrees out and the humidity was low. I convinced hubby (he's not a beach person - weird!) and off we went with the kiddos. We had the best time playing in the sand, getting some sun, and finding seashells. After we were done playing in the sand, we walked to a taco shack on the beach and had some Taco Tuesday action. I love days when we can just enjoy each other's company and not worry about cleaning, laundry, errands and cooking.
Once we got home our friends came over, the kids all played and we had a yummy dinner of brown sugar encrusted salmon, sauteed brussel sprouts/green beans, and yellow rice. My bff and I shared this amazing wine that J got for me at Costco, it's called Palo Alto. It's a blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvingnon, Carmenere and Petite Sirah from 2010. It was such a smooth wine and had a nice smoky taste. It was one of the best wines I've had in a while.
Here are the winemaker's notes "With intense, bright color, this wine seduces with fresh and full character aromas. Black fruit notes and elegant presence of wood stand out. In mouth it is smooth, balanced and full-bodied."
