Sun Cove

We have been planning a weekend away for awhile with my two good friends and our husbands sans kids! My friends husbands family has a house in a little community over near Chelan called Sun Cove. All of us got to enjoy a nice weekend over there.

One of my friends got to enjoy the ride over with us since her husband found an extra job over there to do so he didn't have to make the drive twice in two days. We had a good time with some good conversation. We got over there around five that Friday evening and let the good times start!

Later that night our other friends arrived and we all headed to bed to begin the next day of wine tasting in Chelan.

The weather was great over there. It wasn't cold, sun breaks, and most importantly we were with good friends! What was really nice about hanging out all together is we don't waste any time and were all up bright and early cooking breakfast and getting stuff done!
There is a really cool store right down the road that has local fruits, vegetables and specialty foods. They make their own donuts there, among other things, and we were able to enjoy some that morning along with our yummy breakfast casserole.


Around eleven we all piled in and headed out to do some tasting! It was a beautiful drive over the rive and through the hill to Chelan. Our first stop was Wapato Point Cellars, one of my favorites in Manson. We were able to pick up our wine club shipment and we also got two free bottles along with a 20% discount because we weren't going to be at the dinner that night and we had a friend sign up for the wine club. We scored there! I was a little bummed about dinner because that would have been fun to go to but I wasn't aware of it. They haven't been good about me being on the email list and or my husband hasn't been good at forwarding it. Probably a little of both. Anyhow we got the dates for the rest of the dinners through the summer and I'm happy to say we will be attending! What I like about this place is they have a cool place for the kids to play and they will be free at the dinner.

We made a few more stops at winery's before stopping in town for what was a supposed to be a quick stop but ended up being a little while because one of the guys bought some guns. The rest of us went and got some lunch and wine and enjoyed ourselves before all heading out to our last stop of the day, Tsillan Cellars. This is my favorite in Chelan. It's a beautiful place with great staff and great wine! We are members here as well and picked our shipment up and after our tasting got a bottle and enjoyed it. Our other friends joined this place too and I foresee a lot of fun happening on the other side of the mountain in the future.

We headed back to the house after that and enjoyed another great dinner and some good times. The next day was just about getting the house cleaned up and laundry before we headed home, after heading into the hills to do a little shooting. It was a beautiful warm day! After we got back and got the laundry going and cleaning about done we enjoyed more sun. It's not bad waiting for laundry to get done when you are sitting in the sun with great friends!

After that was all done we headed on home. We were a little bummed to be leaving but missed the kids and already have several trips over there in the next few months planned. It's going to be another great summer!
