So today was the first time in awhile that we have been out as a family, I have to admit I enjoyed it tremendously. Having missed I think the last three or so Livermore Wine festivals (it might even be four). James for once wasn't working and we were able to walk downtown to enjoy the festivities. The girls were pretty good considering and we were out almost 4 hours without too many melt downs. James did the beer event and I did the wine, and truth be told the beer was probably better value but hey. We came back with some artwork for the girls bedroom and new summer hats that will stay on this time!
Breakfast consisted of buckwheat pancakes with strawberries and we even accomplished the weekly grocery shop on top of the days excursion. Lunch for us was a very basic salad, but I felt good by eating healthy, and I only sampled about 4 wines maybe 5 not even half a glass really. We did stop at the Livermore yogurt shop for a non fat banana treat which the girls enjoyed. It's nice to buy a small portion and not actually eat all that much by the time it's shared between 4 people. Dinner was the chicken and dried cherries dish which I have done before, this time instead of couscous I paired it with the pasta/rice pilaf, easier to clean up, and of course there was the obligatory strawberry or two for dessert. With 4 mile walk to boot on healthy meals I feel pretty pleased with myself, not that the scales really show much of an improvement but hey I just have to try to be good right?
