The Fun Continues in Colonial Beach VA Area!

Well, I haven't updated my blog since Monday, so obviously we are busy and having a good time.  The weather still continues to be rather overcast, but warm and very little rain.  (Mostly at night).  Today is the most sun we have had since arriving on Sat. 

After breakfast on Monday, we headed to the Westmoreland Berry Farm to see the goats go across the bridge that is above the road.  They come across when you send the corn up the rope in a cup to the goat platform.  Quite a sight!  Then we enjoyed an ice cream sundae made with a fresh peach sauce.  Delicious.

From there we headed to Ingleside Winery for more wine tasting.  Sam and I decided to decline and sat in the courtyard while the rest did their tasting.  Then we all shared a bottle of wine around a courtyard table. 

When leaving the winery, we stopped to take photos of the workers harvesting the grapes.  They gave us each a merlot grape to taste and they were surprising sweet!

Supper was made over an open fire.  Then the 6 of us played Sequence with the women being victorious!

Tuesday was a rather unsettled weather day, so we decided to stay at the CG and enjoy playing games, walking, etc.  Sinced the CG is closing for the season on Oct. 10th, it is almost empty and obviously no activities are scheduled.  The pool is closed and today they removed the basketball nets and took all the buildings, hazards, etc. off the so called miniature golf course.  It is in such a horrible state of repair and only 9 holes remain, but we insisted that we wanted to play anyway.  The people in the office thought we were crazy, but they didn't know how to stop us.  So 5 of us played the course 2X's.  It actually sits on the tennis court.  I don't know when we laughed so hard.  The "greens" were rippled and had holes and nothing appeared to be level, but it didn't stop us from having a good time and something to talk about for a long time.  Then the 6 of us tried shuffleboard.  Of course, the women won.

Late afternoon we had a major downpour, but if you are sitting outside having cheese, crackers, pretzels and wine, it just doesn't matter!!!!

That evening we played a board game called Cue Me, which was so much fun.  The women were victorious again.  The only downside of the day was no report on our truck repairs.  They only got it in the shop around 3:30 and they are still trying to "diagnosis" the problem.  It is getting abit frustrating, but we need to remember to "Celebrate Life Daily"!
