TT with/Linky: Winery Playdate

We've been having some spring-like weather here in northern California for almost the entire month of December and January so far.  Close to 70 degrees on many days and even though we desperately need the rain, we are taking advantage and enjoying the nice weather.

On this day, the kids and I drove up to our cousin's winery for an afternoon playdate. 

















Nothing like strolling through the vineyard on a 70+ degree day in January.





The kids got to run out some of their energy.

And work up an appetite for some frozen yogurt.

Okay, I know what you're thinking....and the answer is no, I didn't do any wine tasting on the playdate.  But at Foppiano's they do have a tasting room and on the back side of the building they have a beautiful patio set up with picnic tables to enjoy the vineyard view while sipping on some wine. So if you're ever in the Healdsburg area, check them out! 

Maybe I'll go back for a grown-up playdate some time soon.















On this Thankful Thursday, I am thankful for the beautiful weather, the cousins that live close by and for frozen yogurt in January.





Link up with anything you’re thankful for! And if you’re not a blogger, just let us know in the comment section what you happen to be thankful for on this day.




Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to leave a comment. I love to hear from you! Have a fantastic day!

nanny, February is typically our wettest month here in northern California, but as things are going this year, it's very dry so far. Difficult to predict! Hope this helps a little :)

Sounds like a great play date. The weather is just really strange all over this winter.
