Wine in the Woods

Yesterday, we took our annual visit to Wine in the Woods. It is located in Columbia, Maryland at Merriwether Post-Pavillion/Symphony Woods. The best thing about it, is its in the woods. You feel like your in rural PA, or Western MD, but you're actually right accross the street from the Columbia Mall. This wine festival is great. There are over a dozen Vineyards there with there wines. I have a friend from work that hooks us up with tickets. She has been kind to do this since the tickets are about $20 a piece. It is sponsored and put on by Howard County Recreation and Parks I think we would pay regardless, we like it so much.

This year we went with John and Murano. We weren't even sure if we were going to go, because we did not have a babysitter for Nathan. This year we went late, like 4pm. The time of the festival is 4-6. We stayed about an hour and a half. Nathan was actually pretty good. Amy was the designated driver. If this would have been the typical year, we would had someone watch Nathan, and planned it better. Most likely we would have talked to our budds in another office to see when they are going. If they go, they can sneak us into the VIP tent. The VIP tent is for executives, politians, and corporate sponsors of the event. It mean, they will pour you glasses of wine, and we could enjoy a wide variety of cheeses, crackers and other muchables.

We still had a good time, but next year, we may plan for the VIP thing. They also actually had some good entertainment there as well. Good singers on stage. After the festivities we went to Fudruckers and had a burger at the request of Murano.

Sorry, not pictures from this. I usually get crunk, and would not trust taking a camera with such tempting wine.

Today, we did not do much, but we did take Nathan to a new playground. Infact, it is so new, it has not officially opened yet. I would have to say, it is the biggest playground I have ever seen. I thought the new playground at Centennial was great, this one actually blows it out of the water. Nathan had a fun time running around and going on the dozen or so slides. He also enjoyed climbing around. Afterwards we got pizza at Unos.

Ok, Nathan did say one distrubing thing today. At the dinner table he looked at Amy and said "I am going to kill you". We could not believe it came out of his mouth. His said it a couple of times. We corrected him and gave him a good speech on it. He did not say it since. I don't know where he picked it up from.

I bid you goodnight.
