Well I'm not going to cross off reading the Elm Creek series by Jennifer Chiaverini yet, but I have read a few of them. I've finished the first 4 books out of the series. They are wonderful quick reads. The women in the stories could actually be you, me or any other woman out there. Stories are about the struggles and joys woman have had in the past and present. Even if you aren't a quilter this is a great series.
The one thing I can cross off is wine tasting in Paso Robles, California.
My husband and I went to Paso Robles for wine tasting and stayed at the Historic Paso Robles Inn. We went on a one day tour of the local wineries. I highly recommend using Grapevine Tours, who we used for the day. Our driver was Fritz, he was born, raised and still lives in the area. He was very funny, helpful and knowledgeable about the region and wine tasting. You don't have to lift a finger to do anything except taste wine, he takes care of everything. The day included a gourmet lunch, which was very good. The winery I have pictured Four Vines Winery was a lot of fun. Marketed to the 20-30 something age group and I might add for those older ones who are young at heart (or just haven't grown up), which is includes me. They have temporary tattoo's and matching wine glasses that you can choose from and then take home with you. The wine was very good and it was a lot of fun wine tasting and joking around.
