Saturday night ended with a bang....Karaoke, Millionaires, and many more stories I'm not supposed to post! You should have been there....

Sunday morning...time to journey back to Boise and catch a flight!

So sad to see Sun Valley go!
We made it to the airport...after a little detour!
And finished the trip right...with COCKTAILS!
Wow! It took me two whole days to recover...and having just relived the trip through the blog...I'm exhausted again!

Bar, Phase 1!

Phase 1 of the Bar has begun...Rich painting the "closet" that will
soon be transformed into a full functioning wine and liquor facility!

How cute is this...I caught him doing this before he got started!

The color might look familiar...it's the same "Crimson Glory"
we used behind the Wall Art!
Wah-la!
...and it's off to Sun Valley!

...Risky at Best!

Rich and I hit the Tri-Cities this weekend for 24 solid hours of fun...family....basketball....and did I say fun!

We started out at Sagelands Vineyards on Saturday afternoon for a little wine tasting...on our adventure of "Malbecs"...we not only found a 2005 Malbec that we loved, but also a Malbec Rose...very fun!!!

We stopped by Jacksons in Richland to watch the UW basketball...a little disappointed that they lost and the season is over...but there is always next year! Go Michigan State!!!

After our afternoon adventures we headed over to Rich's parents house to visit, share some laughs and just hang out...Denise cooked us some fabulous Chili and Rich and I ran some errands to "help" Dick out!

After our dinner fun..we headed out with Chris and Brianna to have a quick nite cap and go to bed..

Chris and Rich...lovin' their pictures!
Washington Apples...shocker, I know!
Brianna even hit up the Karaoke...
plus, there was a Bride and Groom
...don't know how long that will last?!?!
Rich and I got up early on Sunday...went to breakfast at the hotel and a walk along the Columbia River...such a good time. The weather was a little cold...but it was fun to get out and enjoy the time in Richland.

We headed back over to Rich's parents to celebrate
SHAWN'S 18th BIRTHDAY!!!!
Given!
