Friday we loaded up and headed to Fredericksburg Tx to celebrate Madisen's QUARTER OF A CENTURY Birthday!!! Her hubby and our good friend James organized the whole thing to be a surprise for her! Most years we spend her birthday at Girls Weekend but this year we had GW in July so I was thrilled to still be able to get to celebrate with her!
When James first asked us to go I thought no way no how will I get Jeff Stevens away from Corner Bar on the start of college football weekends... But I had to ask... WHAT! He said YES? Could my ears be deceiving me?! This was music to my ears and he deserved a hug around the neck! Eek now the hard part would be keeping the secret from Mad and deciding what I should wear.
I have always wanted to go on a wine tour and stay at a Bed and Breakfast in Fredericksburg so this was the perfect opportunity to do so!
Jeff and I arrived before James and Mad so that we could get the key and be there to surprise her. I wanted to jump out and yell SURPRISE when she walked in but Jeffrey thought we would scare her senseless if we were in a dark bed and breakfast yelling out at her when she least expected it... He made a good point. So instead as they walked up I turned on the porch light and threw the door open and said surprise!!!! Her face was priceless... She looked very confused ha.
The Baylor v TCU game was in full swing so we went to Buc's bar just around the corner to play shuffle board and watch the game. So proud of my Baylor Bears for pulling off the win!
Saturday morning we went to the best little breakfast place called the Sunset Grill. We all loved our meal but must admit we were all jealous of James and the deliciousness he ordered! He got Eggs Benedict but not your ordinary version... Right in the middle of his English muffin and egg was a crab cake!
After breakfast we watched the first half of the Bama game then went to Becker Vineyards for a wine tasting and grape stomp! I was in heaven. 1) I LOVE wine! 2) Since seeing the I Love Lucy episode as a young girl I have been determined to go to a vineyard and stomp grapes... Dream come true! So much fun! After our stomp and tasting we sat on the porch and enjoyed some woodfire pizza.
That night we went to Crossroads Steakhouse for dinner, more wine and the boys even had a few "old fashion" drinks in true Mad Men style. After we returned to the B&B to watch the end of the LSU Oregon game and called it a night.
I do not know how we got so LUCKY but my girlfriends and I must have done something right because our significant others had no trouble becoming quick friends!
This weekend was so much fun and I did not want it to end. I miss our couple friends so much living in CS because most of our friends here are boys and single! Rach, I know you can relate ha! No dinner dates, game nights, or bowling with other couples for us...unless Erica and Daniel come in town or we go to Corner with Mike and Rach. Mel & Marsh, Mendy & Alex feel free to read this and be very jealous y'all missed out this weekend haha...just teasing! Looking forward to spending time with you all in the upcoming months!
HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY MAD! We LOVE you!
