Birthday Celebrations Can Never Be Too Late

So, for my birthday this year two of my closest friends planned a little outing for us. It is actually becoming somewhat of a tradition with the three of us. Last year they surprised me and drove me over to Carmel for the day, where we picnicked on the beach and then went to a daffodil farm and picked 'til our hearts content. It was probably the greatest birthday ever.

Here we are at the daffodil farm in Carmel Valley last year (2007).

So this year, after some minor scheduling delays and health issues, the two of them decided to try and out-do last year's celebration and we drove up to Saratoga and went wine tasting. The weather could not have been more perfect, causing Sarah to force us to put Tracy's top down on the way there and on the way back, so the hair was a little bit of a tangled mess, but we had a great time.

They packed another picnic and we ate out on the property at one of the vineyards after our first wine tasting. Then we drove down the mountain to a second vineyard, complete with roaming peacock (which was certainly Tracy's favorite part of the day) and did some more wine tasting before heading home. I pretty much have the greatest friends EVER.

It was an absolutely fabulous day, and I certainly can't complain about getting to extend my birthday celebrations into the month of April. Who would? So cheers to fabulous friends and wonderful weather! Thank you for yet another outstanding birthday.

And if you can't tell from the pictures, I was stuck sitting in the back seat on the way to the vineyards. :)
