\"WineryThis afternoon Justin and I put our normal weekend \u201cchores\u201d behind us and took the girls to Barrel Oak Winery, a kid friendly and pet friendly winery near Middleburg. We decided to stick with our plans despite the major thunderstorm and flood warnings that were in the afternoon forecast. Thirty minutes into the forty five minute car ride, the sky was ominous and it looked like we were riding into a tornado. Ten minutes to go and we were riding in a torrential downpour.\u00a0 The girls had all fallen asleep in the car by this time and were still sleeping by the time we got to winery, so we were able to wait the storm out why the girls finished their naps. <\/em><\/p>\n

Justin and I did a wine tasting and then I did something that I have actually never done at a winery before surprisingly. I ordered a glass a wine, followed by another\u2026.I actually had my college mentality\u2026I had a good buzz and I didn\u2019t want to lose it.\u00a0 What better way not to lose it, then to have another!<\/em><\/p>\n

There was a cover band playing and Emerson and Harper were enjoying being center stage. The forth song into their set, the lead singer says they are going to do a Beatles cover.\u00a0 The girls all know and LOVE Black Bird.\u00a0 So I\u2019m thinking to myself\u00a0 how cool would it be if they sang Black Bird while at the same time thinking that the Beatles had so many songs that there is no way that the song they were about to cover would be Black Bird.\u00a0 Seconds later\u2026.Black Bird\u2026.seriously, what were the odds!\u00a0 I even got Avery, who was being pretty moody and only wanting to sit in the stroller, and Justin to come sing with us.\u00a0 Then a few songs later the Lead singer proceeds to tell the crowd that he has four daughters, the oldest two of which turned 29 last week.\u00a0 Oldest two\u2026twins and four girls\u2026I told Justin it was another sign! I truly probably think about having a forth every day and most days I\u2019m able to realize that four at this point would totally change the game.\u00a0 But there are times (like today) where the signs are in full force that I wonder\u2026was it a sign or was it the wine?!?!\"winery<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
