Food trucks, Kinect”ing” & Wine!!!

This weekend was FANTABULOUS!

It was jam-packed with amazing activities.

Friday night we went to the food truck food court. Please tell me you’ve heard about the food truck revolution! (Have I blogged about this yet?). Well let me tell you about it anyway! The food truck revolution is this new movement here in South Florida where a bunch of gourmet food trucks get together and park somewhere around the city and cook delicious food. The food is affordable and the experience is “different” and cool! This last food court experience wasn’t THAT great because the lines were extra long and we just didn’t have a chance to slow down and actually enjoy it. What was supposed to be an evening with friends turned into a whole night of “waiting in line.” The final outcome was pretty cool though and the food was delicious (as usual).

Saturday was unexpectedly great as well. We had plans to go to the circus but those fell through as a certain someone who will remain un-named (cough cough husband) conveniently forgot to order tickets. So we sat around and hung out until my bestie called us to come over. We had a wonderful time playing Kinect while connecting with one another. Unexpected get-togethers are the BEST!

Then on Sunday we went to a winery! I don’t drink so I was actually hesitant about the amount of fun that I would have. It’s like going to a shoe store and not trying on any shoes… but sure enough it was one of the coolest experiences of my life!

Our friend Barbie graciously hosted a Sunday brunch prior to going to the winery. It was amaaaaaazinggggg!!!!!! So once our tummies were filled we hopped in our cars and headed down to the winery. When we got there they gave us the choice to take a tour and have a wine tasting. I bought a slice of cheesecake and took that sucker “on tour” with me. The tour was fun, we got a little bit of history of the place  and after we did that we went to our tasting!

Here’s the cool part! While they were setting up I went to the potty (I’m getting somewhere I promise… stay with me!). Well the tour guide asked the hubby how many people were in our party… he said six (which meant that I was included) and they handed our group six glasses! The cool part is that we did not PAY for me because I don’t ever drink so technically we were a party of five… WE GOT A FREE WINE TASTING FOR ME!!!

So when you get a free wine tasting you can’t just say no. At least I couldn’t. I was determined to give wine a try. (This coming from someone who TRULY hates the taste of alcohol). Let me tell you that we tried 11 wines… and I FELL IN LOVE WITH THREE OF THEM!!! Isn’t that COOL???

Overall the place was pretty amazing. The grounds have waterfalls and koi fish and it’s all super relaxing. The company we were in was pretty fabulous too which made the experience one I will never forget.

I gotta say… I’m so thankful for all the amazing people in my life… They rock my world… Especially after 11 glasses of wine!

Until next time…

Your friendly neighborhood SuperWife!
