9/27/14 to the Seashore! Sea Isle City with friends Robin & Billy

9/27/14

got my Leopard Sperry’s ready for the Seashore!

Michael & I headed to Sea Isle City, NJ
to spend the weekend at the Seashore
with friends Billy & Robin

Before we left for our weekend adventure
we took the doggies for a walk

I love the shadow photos!

another shadow photo!

Bikes on our roof rack going to the seashore!

The guy in the red bike jersey buzzed past us
without any warning, which is quite rude!

We caught up to him & drafted off himfor a few miles.
He wasn’t too happy about it but oh well!!

By drafting, I mean the practice of riding in the slipstream close behind someone’s rear wheel, thus greatly reducing the effort you need to expend keeping at their speed.
Basically, he was pulling us along!

We biked down to our friend Debbie’s house.

Later we went to the Food Truck Fest

Michael & Billy deciding what to get for lunch

this guy had chips on a stick & a bacon parfait

HAPPINESS STARTS HERE: Bubble Tea Truck

Elephant Ride for me!!!!

Me & Robin, photo opp!

Later we went to a local Octoberfest.

The Insiders were playing, it was FUN!

dinner with friends Billy & Robin.

note to self: bring Wine GLASSES next time!

get them out to as many customers as I could.

Leyda Pinot Noir (Lot 21) $43.99
Catena Zapata $149.99

let’s hope I get some sales!

9/25/14

We used the Pilates Ring in class today.
It’s a great inner thigh workout but sometimes
it bothers my hips. They’re tight.
Anyone have exercises for tight hips?

Maybe I could take Weasel’s joint meds??
They seem to help her creaky hips/bones.

Saw this PIG PARKER at Staples today.
oink!

First appointment today was at Bolete.
A cool farm to table restaurant in Bethlehem.

Tasted a few french & italian wines

Sette Luna tasting.

Most of the wines on their list are mine!

last tasting today was at the FISH MARKET in Easton.
I haven’t eaten here yet but all the food looks awesome.

She carries my amazing Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley.

did a little “hunting” today.

The River Grille….trying to get in here!

Black & Blue was more of a beer bar.
I don’t need to hunt here anymore….
