Birthday Day Date

I just had a birthday! I celebrated my real day with Colin and he said we could go whatever I wanted.  So just like last year we headed to one of our favorite little towns to get a yummy lunch and wander around!

Before we got there we headed to one of the vineyards we had gone to for valentines day a year ago.  We had gotten a blackberry wine which made the best sangria!  So we headed back for some more, a case more!!! We got a variety of flavors, so hopefully they all make yummy sangria so there will be sangria on the patio all summer long!!!

Then we went to one of my favorite restaurants for lunch and ate outside in their lovely courtyard.

After lunch we hit up some gift and antique stores.  And I trespassed on people's yard to take pictures of their flowers. ha!

I saw a Jeep filled with plants and flowers and got really excited, I did my best to snap a picture quickly! I miss my Jeep!

I asked Colin if we could get these for the patio (They were HUGE) and he said Yes without looking since he was only half listening to me! HA! Don't worry, we didn't get them.

Did I get anything you ask? Why, yes I did!  I saw these 2 tiny bottle in one of the antique stores and when the dealer said they were $3 each, I said sold! Sold to the lady in the orange shorts she wears too often! : )

As soon as we got home I filled my new tiny bottles with some roses from the rose bush I was planning on cutting down and some iris from my neighbors yard.  You can pick flowers from other people's yard if you never met them right? : /  I never got caught, so it was ok!
(Is trespassing a theme of my birthday this year?)

I also got flowers from the girls at work!  Then the following weekend I celebrated with friends and family, but sadly did not documents with photos.
