If you are ever in Texas try to make it here, and here’s why:</p> <p>1- Great selection of wine from all over the world.</p> <p>2- Wonderful patio in the back. Complete with swings, giant shady oak trees, and white lights!</p> <p>3- Some of the best *sommelier’s (my wine word for the day) around. They are friendly, knowledgeable about wines, and ready to share about it!</p> <p>*Sommelier: or <strong>wine steward</strong>, is a trained and knowledgeable <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine" title="Wine">wine</a> professional</p> <h1 class="firstHeading" id="firstHeading"><span><br/></span></h1>http://runninthroughtheyard.tumblr.com/post/26275686078http://runninthroughtheyard.tumblr.com/post/26275686078Sun, 01 Jul 2012 09:25:33 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6hjvkMrQf1qhr3jvo1_250.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6hjvkMrQf1qhr3jvo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>2 things (summer travel):</p> <p>The sunset taken in Medina, TX!

WE GOT A SHUTTLE!!! ….Well not exactly…we got a shuttle replica. It is still pretty sweet. It showed up in my home town by barge. It had been shipped over from KSC going about 1 mile per hr. So needless to say it took ages to get here. Once it got here there was a massive “SHUTTLEBRATION”. All and all it was a big success!!</p> <p>WELCOME HOME!!!!</p>http://runninthroughtheyard.tumblr.com/post/24403627150http://runninthroughtheyard.tumblr.com/post/24403627150Mon, 04 Jun 2012 09:47:34 -0500
