Guess what? This weekend we discovered a new baby-friendly activity: wine tasting! Who knew?! Auntie Julie was in town for the Memorial Day weekend, and made us promise to figure out something fun to do other than sitting at home playing with babies... and as
much as we love doing that, we had to agree that it was high time to venture out on a bona-fide family excursion (discounting our excursions to Trader Joe's, Target, and Babies 'r' Us, of course :-). Little did we know that in as quickly as 40 minutes from our house, you can find yourself in the quaint Virginia countryside, surrounded by horse farms and wineries. And thanks to a recommendation from our good friend Anne, we paid a visit to the Swedenburg Estate Vineyard in Middleburg, Virginia. After 
all, since the babies are now 11 weeks old, we figured there was no better time to take them wine tasting for the first time. :-) We spent a lovely afternoon sampling the vineyard's five varieties of wine, before settling on a bottle of rosé to sip under an umbrella in the sun. The babies enjoyed themselves immensely, and created as much of a 
spectacle among the visiting wine connoiseurs as the actual wines themselves. We ended the day touring around historic Middleburg, a charming little gem of town that seems almost too picturesque to be touched by the real world. Naturally, we couldn't resist taking tons of adorable photos of the babies at the winery - including some of our 
favorites of "Super Buddy" - a.k.a. Liam - soaring above us with his bib as a cape, and our junior gymnast/yoga instructor Coralie showing off her legendary backbends. (And no, I am not just dangling her in the air like that... she actually gets herself into this position to stretch!) Click here to check them out!
