I've got a friend here with a new baby on the way.  I've decided that I might as well go ahead and throw her baby shower, since our place is nice and spacious, and should be able to hold all the people we are expecting.  However, there is still more planning to be done.

Since the new baby is a baby boy, I sent out some invitations, first checking out some baby shower invitation wordings for boys to get some good ideas before sending them out.  Next, it was a matter of buying the decorations, and, of course, the food.  I think I've got enough for everyone, but only time will tell.  The day will be a bit hectic, but I think it should be a wonderful time!

Well I am one happy guy, my grandparents went and got me a set of car tyres for my birthday! I couldn’t believe it seeing I know how much these can cost, a part of me feels rather guilty that they bought them for me but the other half is over the moon that I can now take my car out without the fear of slipping of the road.

You see, where I stay there is a lot of snow and ice and it is essential to get the best set of car tyres possible, if you don’t you will end up in a car accident. Its that simple.

I will have to get them a great gift in return, it is there birthday soon so I will have to out do them both. Thinking of which, they both have cars of there own, I might return the favour he he. It will however need to be cheap tyres as I as always am out of money!

In the Napa Valley, and throughout Wine Country, taking a guided wine tour is a popular tourist attraction.  It allows you to see and taste some of the most popular things that the Napa Valley has to offer.  Another option to the guided tour is adding particular things that you want to see into your itinerary.  Not all tour companies allow this since they travel on certain routes to destinations that they have relationships with, but some will.  If there is a certain restaurant or winery that you and your party would like to see, it may be possible to make that a stop on the tour.  The companies that do custom itineraries will also handle the reservations or private tours that are needed.  Obviously, these Napa wine tours cost a little more but you get to see exactly what you want.
