More Pics from Wamego

Posted on June 18, 2011 by under Free Stuff, Travel.    

Brian and I saw this sign off the highway about free wine tastings at Oz Winery so we decided to go check it out. That’s actually what brought us to Wamego. LOL.

Oz Winery is a neat little winery located in downtown Wamego.

There’s also Vin Vivante down the street. This is a picture of Brian with the proprietor.

Wamego reminds me of Peabody. Brian and I went on a daytrip there a few years ago when we saw on TV that they were giving away free land. LOL.

I just love checking out small towns. There’s always a pleasant surprise. In this case, the free wine tastings were a bonus!

Ching’s New Flat Wallet

Posted on June 18, 2011 by under Life.    

I had to go to Lucinda’s the other day to buy a new wallet. I had left mine in the car for a couple of weeks and it melted in the heat. Well, it didn’t actually melt. The heat broke down the adhesive holding the wallet together so it started falling apart. 🙁

Thankfully, Lucinda’s has a bunch of these flat wallets on hand so I was able to find a suitable replacement. But the moral of this story is — don’t leave your wallet in the car when it’s 100+ degrees out!

Brian and I decided to hit Wamego before heading home on Sunday. Why? Because I love exploring small towns. It’s one of my favorite things to do. 🙂

We braved the weather and decided to walk around the park.

My hair is a mess because it had been raining. LOL.

We had to take a picture of the Old Dutch Mill.

And the county jail…

Okay, so it’s not the real jail. =P

When it started really pouring, we decided to go back to the car. It was kind of yucky that morning. We still managed to make the most of it, though. Click here to see more of the pictures we took in Wamego.

No Small Town Street Dance

Posted on June 15, 2011 by under Things to Do.    

We left the Symphony site immediately after the concert because we didn’t want to get stuck there behind a slow moving parade of cars and also because we were told there was a small town street dance going on in Alta Vista that same evening. The lure of square dancing like what I saw in the movie Sweet Home Alabama was just too much for me to resist. So Brian and I followed some folks to Alta Vista.

We were both very excited to experience the whole small town street dance thing. We had bailes in Tanjay so I got to experience what street dances were like there, but I wanted to experience an American small town street dance. I want to do the whole square dancing thing. It just looks like so much fun. Unfortunately, by the time we got there, it looked like all the festivities were over. I guess a street dance just wasn’t in the cards for us that night.

Does anyone know of when there will be another small town street dance going on nearby? I would totally love to check one out one of these days.
