Wine and Fighting

Rose and I lived it up and spent the day at the Shenandoah Wine Festival in Virginia and the night at the Washington Caps game. The wine was sweet and the Caps were bitter.

wine fest

Rose and I thought it would be nice to spend a beautiful autumn afternoon in the quiet county side, sampling the young but rich wineries of Virginia. Little did we know that thousands of others had this very same thought as well. Amidst the pushing, drinking, shoving, drinking, drinking, crowding, a mile long I.D. check line, we managed to have fun. Highlights of the trip included eating fresh kettle corn (while standing in the mile long line), getting a free etched wine glass, tasting mulled wine, the amazingly beautiful day, fun with family, and of course the Wine.

Caps game

Rose and I raced to the Caps game and got there just as the game began. We sat 10 rows back from the ice!! The game was a defensive struggle that saw two exciting fights. The Caps fought hard and ended up winning the two fights, but losing the game 3-2. We had a great time together and rode home on the metro exhausted but happy.
