Thursday Tours: Entertaining Out-of-Towners

Filed in: Reviews

Whew, where did this year go? It is crazy to think that it was a year ago that I was in Asia on our crazy sabbatical adventure. Now here we are with the holidays quickly approaching! Do you have guests coming to town to celebrate the season?

Thursday Tours Out-of-Towners

With small families on both sides, Brice and I usually enjoy a pretty quiet Thanksgiving/Christmas/Hanukkah/Festivus. I often envy those people with tons of cousins, aunts and uncles and other extended family who all get together for big dinners, especially when they are goofy and do things like wear matching ugly sweaters.

With the blue skies on the forecast, the beautiful changing leaves and grape harvest in action, this is the perfect time for another trip to wine country.

Thursday Tours Wine Country v2 (1)

My friends and I are taking advantage of all that with a trip to Dundee for a tour of Dobbes Estate and Hyland Estates this Sunday. I have never been to either, so I’m really excited to check out somewhere new. As there will likely be a lot of wine drinking, it’s a good thing we’ve to Bridge City Limos to help us get home safely! I have no doubt we will take full advantage of that DD… Continue Reading...
