Weekly wrap up #1

This past week has been quite busy considering we are still very much in holiday mode. On Monday, we took a friend of ours on a wine tour... He is actually quite the wine connoisseur and goes on at least one annual wine tasting tour- we, however, were new to this whole experience. I offered to be the designated driver (because, even though I love the idea of drinking wine, I can't stand the taste), and off we went to McLaren Vale. I had researched (yep, nerd!) where we were going to go... There is a street that has a few wineries as well as a beer distillery (for my husband) and so I thought perfect, we will just lazily go from one to the next and have lunch at the distillery. Well, the first cellar door, closed. Good start Bec! The second, however, was open, and so we went inside and had our first ever wine tasting session :)

I can, at times, be really naive, and I had no idea how these sessions worked... Do you have to pay? Will they be annoyed if we try a whole lot of wine and don't buy any? The lady serving us did give us the option to do a tasting that did cost money ($15) and I decided that we would go for that option to alleviate my guilt when we decided not to buy any wine :) After this winery, we headed further down the road to the distillery for lunch... closed! Well, that ended our classy wine tasting session, so we head into town for food. I tried a couple sips but I have confirmed that I do not like wine, even when it costs $300 a bottle.

Later in the week, my husband bought a car. While he went to test drive the car, I decided that it would be the perfect opportunity for me to take the three kids on a public transport outing (one of their favourite things in the world!). First of all, we caught a train to the city. We got off the train and I asked Alex what he would like to do in the city... Catch the tram! (Of course). So we did, we caught the tram all the way to the beach. Then we got some hot chips and waited for the bus. After a relatively short (about 15 minutes) bus ride, we were at nana's, and I was ready for a rest...

Finally, we also went to the beach with the kids and my in laws to do a spot of swimming and fishing...lovely weather, great for swimming, terrible for fishing, and a couple of tantrums... All in all, a lovely little excursion :) Anyways, I had a whole lot of photos to add, however they are not loading (grrr). Hopefully next week's wrap up will be complete with visuals! Hope you all have a lovely week, God bless :)
