A Leisurely Saturday


We both had Saturday off (well, I worked until 7 AM...), so we spent the afternoon together visiting a new winery. Did you know that there are 90 wineries and 400 personal vineyards in NC? This one is called Shelton Vineyards.They had a lovely tasting room.

They were hosting a British car show - there were about 200 British cars parked throughout the vineyard.


After our tour and tasting, we grabbed a bread/cheese/fruit appetizer from their on-site restaurant and ate it picnic-style on this little island on the lake.

I just love my husband! We enjoy so many of the same activities, and are best friends - it is so easy to have a great time together on these sacred afternoons when we are both away from the hospital. :-)
