WITH THE 4th OF JULY BEHIND US,

IT WAS TIME FOR THE ADULTS TO HEAD FOR THE WINE COUNTRY.
STEVE AND DORIAN PLANNED A GREAT DAY OF WINE TASTING AT THREE WINERIES,TO HELP ABBEY COME OF AGE.

WE STARTED OFF WITH CHAMPAGNE ,
 MIXED WITH SOMETHING RED,
IN THE BUS.
SO WHAT IF IT WAS ONLY 10:30 IN NAPA,
 "IT WAS 5 o'clock SOMEWHERE."
RIGHT?

LOOKS LIKE THE BIRTHDAY GIRL AND HER SISTER ARE HAVING FUN.

WE'RE READY!

THE WINE TASTING MADE SOME A LITTLE SILLY.

FROM THE LOOKS OF THE EMPTY GLASSES, I GUESS I KNOW WHY.

BACK ON THE BUS 

BRITTNEY GETS READY FOR A LITTLE POLE DANCING.

LOOKS LIKE SHE'S ENJOYING IT!

FRIEND JOSH DECIDES TO SHOW US HOW TALENTED HE IS.

CRAIG, WHO JUST GOT  OFF WORK, AND HADN'T SLEPT IN 24 HOURS, JUST COULDN'T CONTAIN HIMSELF ANY LONGER.
JENNY IS NOT SO SURE SHE WANTS TO WATCH.

AFTER ALL, AREN'T YOU SUPPOSE
TO LOOK UP TO YOUR BIG BROTHERS???

NOT SURE HOW,
BUT AT THIS POINT
HE WAS AIR-BORNE!

BACK TO PLAYING THE MUSIC CRAIG!

 THE BIRTHDAY GIRL WAS ENJOYING 

EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

ONE LAST GROUP PHOTO BEFORE HEADING BACK TO THE HOTEL TO CONTINUE WITH THE PARTYING.

OH TO BE 21 AGAIN!!!

 THE NEXT DAY, WHILE SOME CONTINUED TO PARTY, DARYL AND I TOOK OFF FOR A LITTLE NOSTALGIC TRIP OVER THE MOUNTAIN TO CLEARLAKE.

OK, KIDS, DO YOU REMEMBER THIS 7 ELEVEN WHERE WE WOULD STOP ON THE WAY TO GRANDMA AND GRANDPAS?

TOOK A PICTURE, FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL, OF THEIR HOUSE,

AND THE VIEW OF THE LAKE THEY HAD.  STOPPED AT THE CEMETERY, BEFORE HEADING BACK OVER THE MOUNTAIN FOR ANOTHER EVENING OF FUN.

THIS MORNING ABBEY RODE HOME WITH US, WHILE HER PARENTS CONTINUED ON FOR A LITTLE MORE VACATION. 

ADULTHOOD IS REALLY EXHAUSTING!!!
