Dec 2011 A Belated Anniversary Celebration

To celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary, Justin and I went on a horseback ride through the wine country of Temecula. I purchased this ride back in September of last year and we finally got to take our ride in mid December. She was always either booked or it was way too hot to go. She was very flexible though in finding dates that worked for us and even gave us the option of rescheduling that day because it had rained the night before and was quite chilly. We decided to just go because we weren't sure when we would be able to find someone to watch the kids again. I was so happy we went. It was absolutely beautiful! Justin and I had a great time and will definitely do it again.

Practicing before we head out. I haven't been on a horse in over 25 years:

I felt pretty comfortable with Big J:

Justin said his horse was very easy to maneuver:

Even though all of the grapevines were being cut back, it was still beautiful to see all of the vineyards and the rolling hills in the wine country:









Justin and I are going to buy a house out here someday:
