    Hmmm I would say Huber or River Bend winery. I dont like Huber because it's the popular big winery here, but I just like their wine. They have more variety and their whites aren't as sweet as most white wines at other wineries here.

    I also can't wait to camp! My friends and I do a huge 4th of July party at my friend's lake every year. We camp and float on the lake and all of that jazz. We even make t-shirts. :)

    I really recommend MillaNova winery in Bullitt Co, if you like fruity/sweet wines.  They have one called Walnut Ridge (always makes me think of the Pool and Patio store...) that is very unique and good! Just a suggestion :)

    For those of you that have moved to your current city, what made you move?

    I moved here because of FI. I was living in Evansville and he was living here when we met. We dated long distance for 1.5 years until we decided that had been long enough. I decided to come here since it was the bigger city, FI had the better job, and I wanted to get out and try something new!
