I love nothing more than making impromptu plans. Something about acting on a spur of the moment idea makes the idea even that more cool when the plans works out.
Sitting in my classroom on Friday afternoon, when I should have been prepping for the quickly approaching next school year, I found myself checking my email and seeing a reminder about a free jazz concert at a local winery... operative words being free and winery. In a split second and two texts later we had plans with our wine-loving friends and their kids to attend a jazz concert on the lawn at McConnell Estates Winery.
A quick trip to the store, home to pack blankets, chairs and sweatshirts, and we were on our way.
Having never been to a concert at this winery we had no idea what to expect. But when we rounded the curve on the path to the lawn we were completely enchanted. Huge shade trees strung with fairy lights and paper lanterns, blooming flowers in manicured beds, and luscious green grass sprinkled with oh-so-mello folks enjoying wine and the company of friends!
The weather was perfect. The wine was delicious. The conversation was filled with banter and laughter. The kids were occupied with dancing, building pyramids, generally acting silly...
A perfect impromptu evening. A+
