A Day of Sampling

While Nana and Bopa were here; Nana was going to have a birthday! So we wanted to give her a birthday presents that was very memorable and that she would never forget. So, we new that Nana likes wine, and we are living in wine country, so what else would be better than taking Nana on some wine tasting tours at some of the local wineries! Woohoo!! Sounds like fun!! We decided to go to three different wineries that were all with in walking distance of each other! We had a GREAT time sampling the different wines, and we even bought some! We bought Nana a bottle of wine for her birthday, and a bottle wine opener!

This is the first winery that we went to...Tagaris....and it was good!

After we did all of our wine tasting...we were ready to eat some dinner! You can not come to Richland, WA and not eat the famous pizza and brewery place here! It is so yummy! They have very unique and different types of pizzas, but they are soooooo good! So for dinner we went to Atomic Ale Brewpub & Eatery! While looking at the menu we decided that we wanted to try a sample of several of there pizzas. So when the waitress cam he told her that we could like a sampler (of pizzas) and he told her the ones we wanted. The next thing we knew she brought us a sampler of the different beers that they brew there. It was too funny!!! So we had to try them all. Some were really gross and some were pretty good! It was a first for Nana and me, and Bopa and Scott enjoyed it too! We had a great dinner! It was a wonderful day!!!!
