Bachelorettes!

So, Saturday was Erin's bachelorette party. It was so much fun!! I'm so glad everything went so well. The wine and jeep tour was even better than I imagined it would be. I can't wait to have another reason to take the tour again.

These girls are so much fun!

When we first arrived we all hopped in the jeep and made our way over to South Coast Winery where we posed for a ton of pictures for our photographer Allie from Allie Lindsey Photography. I can't wait to get those pictures! She said she would send us each a disk full of all the pictures in about 3 weeks. After taking the posed shots we went inside and got started with the tasting. This winery was by far my favorite and they were definitely generous with the wine. I think they poured more than twice what we were supposed to have. In fact I was already tipsy after just the first winery.

It was harvest season. We picked some grapes from the vine and tried them.

The whole day was so much fun. We went to another winery and I think I passed the stage of tipsy, but luckily lunch was next. We had a picnic with some incredibly delicious Italian sandwiches and some much needed water. After lunch everyone felt like taking a nap, but it was time for our little off roading adventure. We went up a little canyon where we were overlooking the whole Temecula Valley.

We went to one more winery after lunch, but luckily it was our least favorite because everyone needed a bit of a wine break and we didn't feel bad about not drinking it all. We just kind of relaxed and took our time at this winery. After we all grabbed some giant sodas we headed back to Erin's house for phase 2 of the party.

I have very creative friends.

My besties, Lauren and Lisa, were my magic decorating elves who did an amazing job of decorating and setting up everything while we were out and in exchange they got to stay for the party. When we got back we all snacked for a bit and opened up some champagne and Erin's soon to be sister-in-law, Amanda, brought her hookah for us to try. I heated up a lasagna for us to have for dinner and Lauren made some delicious chocolate cupcakes with white chocolate frosting for dessert. It turned out to be a perfect day. I think I did a pretty good job.

This was my first time trying hookah. I failed miserably.

 I can't wait to throw another party now. It was so great! Our tour guide's husband does hot air balloon tours, maybe that will be the next tour to take. I think I'd probably freak out in a hot air balloon. We had so much wine and champagne that we never made it to the wedding cake shots, I think I need an excuse to drink the extra alcohol. Who wants to come to a party? ♥
