I got a last minute invite to hang with a good friend for a quick overnight business trip. I worked my butt off to get a week’s worth of work done in 3 days!

We headed out early thursday morning for Grand Junction!

We reached Grand Junction in no time – just yammering the hours away! What fun!!

We had enough time for lunch at a local brewery Rockslide Brewery an Restaurant, and desert at a local Geltao Place –Gelato Junction and Desserts – then i checked in with work, while my friend had her meeting!

After that, it was play time!!!

 

We started with an Alpaca farm and then onto some wine tasting!

The Alpaca farm was very very informational, and the animals were adorable – huge dogs, tons of alpacas!

 

 

Then it was wine time- but we spent so much time with the Alpacas that there were only 2 vineyards open til 6pm!

Carlson Vineyards Winery

I picked out some amazing wines and brought home 1/2 a case to share with the hubby!

On our way to the next winery we just had to stop and take a picture of some yard art…  Words cannot descibe

Graystone Winery

This port only winery, also had their own home made fudge with their port – oh my goodness! The cherry port fudge was absolutely amazing!

 

 

 

 

While driving around Palisade we noticed some strange road names. We took an extra side trip to see the best one!

 

We picked another brewery for dinner – Kannah Creek Brewing Company- We split an amazing salmon quesadilla and a so-so salad – but it had an amazing dressing!

After that we headed back to the room to enjoy a bottle of wine and get ready for the next day!
