Re: You guys doing anything special this weekend?

Great thread! My husband and I will do a "Giro d'Vino" bike ride in Northern CA. 75 Km (just under 50 miles), with 14 rest stops all at wineries. Wine tasting included I won't be drinking any wine during the ride as I'll be the designated driver on the way back. Can't wait for it although we'll miss 2 soccer games for our kids.

But as you said we can't put off fun things anymore so we just have to make choices of which fun things to do!
