I had the goal of starting and finishing a book while we were there, and I'm happy to say I accomplished that. It was great getting to read on the porch with the sun shining. Those rocking chairs are fabulous! I also got halfway through my April "Martha" magazine, which for those of you who know me well know is always highlight.
We also went for a nice drive on Saturday to two different wineries (more on that later). The drive itself was great as we were able to have the windows down, the music pumping, and beautiful scenery. We were amazed to see that the Bradford Pear trees were starting to blossom!
One of our "rainy day" events had been to dye Easter eggs. We try to do this every year, and typically five minutes into it, we both lose interest, but for some reason this year the activity kept both of our interests the entire time. We have some funky and glittery eggs as proof! The only down side is we are both getting sick of eating various "hard boiled egg" recipes, and we still have about 18 eggs left to eat. Feel free to pass along recipe suggestions if you have them.
We also got in a few nice walks. We bypassed the actual hiking trails, as I refused to take off my flip flops! :)
While the weather was nice a warm during the day, it did tend to get rather cool at night, which made for a great excuse to have fires, though I have to admit, the first night we did crank up the AC as the fire was probably not necessary...but who can resist the ambiance!?
Andy and I also spent a lot of time discussing our summer. We hope to go down to the lake for an entire week, so it was fun making plans about that. Oh, and this time, we won't forget to bring Wally!
