Blog Day # 162 in a day of my life. BIRTHDAYS PART 2-BLUMONT WINERY!

     AS WE CLOSED UP THE PARTY AT GREAT AMERICAN FARM, we made our way out the drive, across the street, and up the long winding road up the hill to Blumont Winery. I do not know at what altitude this sits, but it is on top of one of the Shenandoah Mt's.!

   It takes a good 10 Min's. to finally get to the top, and when you do, you just marvel because you drive right through the Vineyards, and see the grapes hanging in bunches. You almost want to get out and taste them, but , and that is a big but, temptation subsides and you walk to the winery , claim your tables, go inside, either do a wine tasting or purchase you favorite bottle and head outside to enjoy the company and THE VIEW!

 

 

 

Here we are, at the Winery at Blumont. Sisters sharing a sip of wine. It was really nice, not too sunny, warm , nice breeze, and the view was to die for!

 

 

ALL YOU HEAR FROM CASSIDY IS ELLA, ELLA, ELLA! SHE JUST ADORES HER COUSIN!

NO MATTER WHO IS AROUND, SHE IMMEDIATELY GOES TO ELLA. SHE WILL WALK AROUND THE HOUSE, SAYING ELLA? I HOPE THIS BOND FOLLOWS THEM THROUGH LIFE.

 

 

JAMES AND TRICIA ENJOYING THE VIEW OF BLUMONT. IT IS ENCHANTING! YOU JUST FIND YOURSELF LOOKING OUT OVER THE SHENANDOAH MT'S. AND GAZING TOWARD DC ABOUT 50 MILES IN THE DISTANCE.

 

 

OVER A BOTTLE OF WINE-HALEY HOLDING TAYLOR-LOOKING OUT OVER THE ROAD LEADING UP THE HILL, INTERTWINING AMONGST THE ROWS OF GRAPES.

 

IN THE DISTANCE IS TYSON'S CORNER, BARELY VISIBLE. LOVE THIS VIEW!

 

THE PARTY FOR TAMMY AND THE FRIENDS THAT WERE INVITED. CLOSE FRIENDS, LET THE PARTY BEGIN!

 

 

WE SPENT I WOULD SAY TWO HOURS UP THERE, ENJOYING THE COMPANY. BUYING BOTTLE AFTER BOTTLE OF WINE. I COUNTED EMPTY BOTTLES AT 12 ONE TIME, AND THEN I QUIT COUNTING. IT WAS A GOOD TIME-JUST WHAT TAMMY WANTED. THEY ALSO HAVE FOOD THERE, ANYTHING FROM BREAD AND CHEESE TO BBQ RIBS THAT I SAW.

 

GERHARD- MARCUS'S FATHER-MARCUS AND HIS FRIEND GROWING UP FROM GRADE SCHOOL UNTIL NOW, KEVIN CASSIDY. TO WHICH LITTLE CASSIDY IS NAMED AFTER.

 

A GREAT AREA IN THE SHADE TO JUST SIT AND LOOK OUT OVER THE VALLEY AND SIP YOUR WINE!

 

 

CASSIDY AND COUSIN HANNAH, YOU KNOW, THE KIDS ALL HAD A WONDERFUL TIME, THERE IS A FENCED IN LAWN AND YOU ALSO CAN GO UP AND SEE THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF CHICKENS AND ROOSTERS. THE KIDS LOVE IT, BECAUSE THEY CAN BE KIDS! 

 

ALMOST TIME TO LEAVE TO GO TO THE THIRD AND FINAL PART OF THE BIRTHDAY PARTIES. HOME TO OUR HOUSE TO HAVE DINNER. BEEF ON WICKS, COLESLAW, VARIOUS SALADS, DRINKS AND BEER! OPEN THE TWINS PRESENTS. OPEN TAMMY'S PRESENTS. A PERFECT ENDING TO A PERFECT DAY.
