Off to WAWGG

All this week I will be attending the Washington Association of Wine Grape Growers. This is our industries yearly get together. There will be seminars, a trade show, and lots of wine! One of my favorite hobbies, and as a little game to keep myself entertained, is I try and see how many pens I can collect. My record is 28. It is also the first time I will be away from home and having to keep up my training for the marathon in June. One of the greatest things about the internet is the ability to research and find local information about a city before your arrival. A few miles from my hotel is a running/walking trail along the river. My shoes are packed and I will be sending updates to the blog about what is going on in the world of wine production.

  1. Good job packing the shoes! I always dread the traveling because of the "food issue". I am not very picky, but sometimes choices are so limited when you travel. Good luck & keep up the good work :-)

  2. When on the road, I find myself playing it safe and hitting Subway or Qdoba. Though uninspiring and not as fancy, they both have really healthy options and little temptations to stray. Especially into the land of nachos!

  3. Haven't heard of Qdoba...a WA thing? One thing that saved us in Napa last year was doing a search for local farmer's markets as well! Can get some great fresh fruit & veggies...and they are usually Nacho free :-)

  4. Nice tip on the farmers market. I am going to have to remember that this Spring when the markets start back up.
