HI !
This week end was another fun one ! It was Corina and Kevin's first wedding anniversary and we celebrated all week end long. First on Saturday we had a barbecue over their place, and then on Sunday we took a trip to northern side of Long Island.We stopped at a couple of farms to pick pumpkins and at some wineries to taste their famous wines .The first vineyard was Pindar where beside tasting the wine we attempted to have a picnic ,but unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate with us. Although sunny, it was windy and cold. We had to take the picnic to a restaurant.We choose Claudie's a well known restaurant since the prohibition.We ate oysters (not me!) and calamari and as a desert we share a tiramisu. On our way back we stopped at Osprey's Dominion Vineyards for another round of wine tasting. Believe it or not , Coni was our designated driver!!!
We arrived home well, in good mood and with nice memories!
I will post some pictures but as always you can see them all on my web album.
