I love Spring in Dallas. It's like 75 and sunny and the rest of the U.S. still has crummy weather. We can bask in the fact that we can wear flip flops and day dresses and have cocktails on the patio while our northern friends still may be shoveling out their cars!
However, we know the dreaded HEAT and humidity is on it's way... we ignore that for now and take advantage on this lovely spring! So, that's exactly what we are doin!
Over Texas Spring Break Paul and and I took a day trip to Grapevine to go wine tasting! We did a tour and checked our two wineries. We found ourselves at a Spanish inspired vineyard sharing a bottle listening to jazz late afternoon when it hit me. This. is. awesome!! Why don't we come here more often? It's only an hour away and its absolutely gorgeous and delicious! Definitely moved up on the things to do, definitely! I think Grapefest is in September - we'll be there! Wine stomp, hello!
With the weather warming we found ourselves hanging by the pool more -- not that it's warm enough to be IN the pool yet (ours isn't heated) but we have been catching rays outside and enjoyed swimming in Mitch's pool and our friend's Kevin & Julie's! Right about now I want to invest in a pool heater, but in about 1 month that again will seem like a stupid idea.... it will be HOT soon, I know!
But it's been nice to get a taste of pool volleyball, basking in the sun, bbq and patio dinners!!! I love the taste of summer!

Not any grapes growing right now...

Are these for sale?
Pool time!

Ready to swim Milo?
