Bonfire Nights at Longshadow Ranch Winery

On Saturday night, my little sis Kayla called me and asked if I had plans. I didn't so she invited me to join her family at Longshadow Ranch Winery! Every Saturday, they have "Bonfire Nights," where they have live music, wine, food, and good times!

I showed up at 7PM and got the last parking spot! The place was busy! I found Kayla and her family and layed out my blanket. They brought food, but I had already eaten so I just enjoyed the company.

I was under the impression that it was country music, but it turned out to be classic rock. Which of course led to some great people watching for "white people dancing." Now we have all been guilty of this at some point or other, where you have had a couple glasses of wine and think your moves are white hot....most of the time they are just funny.

But if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! So we did. And it was a hoot. So many interesting folks out.

I also got to meet the owners John and Susie who were so nice! It was a great night and anyone who wants to go definitely should! It's a great relaxed atmosphere and a good time is guaranteed!

Piloxing: The Newest Craze

Since coming home, I decided to start going to Gold's Gym, mainly for the good price. Personally, I really enjoy group exercise classes. I think it's a good way to get a workout and maybe make some friends too!!

So I have done Zumba before and Spin and Step among others. However, on their schedule was something called "Piloxing." I thought it sounded interesting and was told it's a combination of Boxing and Pilates. Makes sense. So I gave it a go.

I love it! It's more boxing but with pilates thrown in now and then and a lot of balancing so it's good for your core. By the end of the hour, I was dripping with sweat. And the next day, I could feel it, which I always love!

If this is an option in your area, since apparently it is growing like Zumba did a few years ago, then give it a try! You will be sore but it is so worth it!
