Feb 2012 Girls Weekend

Sorry I forgot to post this one earlier...

Back in February, I got to go on a girls weekend with my sister-in-law, Emily, and two cousins, Carolyn and May. As Christmas presents from our hubbies, we received a weekend away to go wine tasting in Temecula and then we stayed the night at Pechanga Hotel and Casino and the next day we all got a massage at the spa! It was such a nice and relaxing weekend. We all absolutely loved it! We have the best husbands!

We went on a Temecula Valley Cable Car Wine Tour and they were fabulous!  We visited four wineries and if we purchased wine or food, etc., they always made sure to take our items for us so we didn't have to hold onto it while tasting wine.  Everything was labeled and put together so at the end of our tour, we got all of our stuff once we got off.  They were very accomodating, friendly and informative.  I would highly recommend them!

Our first stop was at South Coast Winery.  They have a spa there too and someday I would love to go to it!  :)  We loved their wines and the lady giving us our samples was very friendly and gave us a few extra tastings.  Yay! 

Our next stop was Maurice Car'rie Winery.  They have this wonderful warm brie bread that you order before you enter and you have to wait 15 minutes for them to make it fresh, but it is so worth the wait.  Yummy!

 Our third stop was Oak Mountain Winery.  We had lunch here (included in the wine tour) and there was even some live entertainment going on.  The views at this winery are breathtaking!

Our last stop was Europa Winery.  There were 4 different environments to choose from to have your tasting.  I thought that was such a neat concept!

Here we are ready to head back to Pechanga to check in and relax!  We were all ready for a nap by this time!  Riding in the open air of the cable car was a lot of fun.  So many people waved at us! 

I forgot to take pictures between when we arrived and the next day, oops!  But basically after we checked in, we relaxed and some of us napped.  Then we headed to the buffet for dinner.  I really enjoyed the buffet!  Their dessert area was so good!  I managed to snap a pic of my dessert plate(s) with my phone, yum!

Then that night, we actually stayed up and went to their rooftop nightclub! No pics from there either, sorry!  We were all surprised that we stayed up that late, but we have to live it up once in a while when there are no kids around, right? :)  We also did a little gambling after that. 

The next morning, we ordered room service for breakfast and I enjoyed eating my breakfast in bed!  After that, we headed down to the spa for our massages.  Talk about relaxing!  AHHHHH....

I loved this girls weekend and will never forget it!  I actually hope we can do it again soon!  Haha
