Blah's and a mini road trip.

It was a much cooler day on Sunday with cloudy skies and rain on the way. I was having a blah kind of day. I didn't want to bike or run just because it was kind of yucky outside. We went from a super hot, nice summer day on Saturday to not so great of a Sunday. It made my Sunday a boring kind of day where I wanted to do something, but nothing sounded that fun. We did drag ourselves out of the house at noon and go do a mini road trip. 

The first stop a winery in Red Wing, MN. We had not been to this winery in years. They now sell two ciders. They were offering free two taste samples of wine or cider so we choose the ciders. They were just okay. Nothing I would want to drink a glass of. We were planning on having wine, but the service was sooo poor, we left. We had other stops and they sounded better since we couldn't even get any help. 

 Before we left the winery, we took a few photos of their pretty flowers. 

I just think I wasn't in the mood to drink wine. It was windy out on their deck and not many people for the crappy service which we never received. 

Next was Red Wing Brewery in the old part of town. It was highly recommended to me by a customer. Only, I wasn't crazy about the place, beer or pizza. It was all kind of Blah! Kind of the way my mood was on Sunday. We came off of a super busy Saturday to a what do we do with the day Sunday? We had a pizza, too much pizza was leftover because I thought it was too sweet and didn't have much flavor, heat was missing. A lot was missing from this pizza. Maybe I'm getting too picky about my pizza? After one drink, we took our pizza to go or the leftovers and went to Kelly's brew pub. We were going to sit outside, but the wind picked up so we sat at the bar. I didn't take any photos. At least they let me sample a few beers before deciding on a too sweet sour raspberry beer. I liked Steve's beer choice better so we shared. 

That was pretty much our Sunday with a stop at the Red Wing casino. We hadn't been back since 2011? Probably a good thing! I was doing fine with my $20 dollars, just playing video poker for 5 or 10 cents a game, doing the max on each hand. Not sure how much I was up but at least few dollars at one point. I went home with $10 after playing for two hours. Steve never was up and gave them $80. We are not big gamblers! It was entertainment but not great entertainment. We were home by 5:30pm and bored again, but tired and not wanting to do much of anything else. 

I kind of feel like we are watching our summer go by too fast. I'm not doing anything to make the most of it. I really just want to travel but where and when. I think we just need a plan so I need to work on when and where to go asap! I need something to look forward to besides working every day and a few little camping trips that we kind of have planned. 

I had a busy Monday of work scheduled, but it got changed up and I don't work till after 11am. At least I can go run and bike. It's just a matter of getting myself out the door and just doing it! I also have baking some banana bread and making some cookies on my todo list. Nothing fun but stuff I need to do! I really need to get my mind in a better place and out of the blah's!
