After Hours Aerobics Club

While Colby is doing his important research at the Smithsonian Institute, I'm back in Seattle keeping up the fun factor this summer. Friday night was the quarterly gathering of women from my aerobics class. For some reason we have all been going to class together for years but just recently, perhaps united by sweat and sore muscles, we started getting together socially.

The first get-together was dubbed a Tequila Tasting at Sara's house. It was very organized and orderly with Sara giving us interesting tidbits of information about each different kind of tequila. I learned something new at that party. I really like tequila. Not margaritas. Just a clean shot of quality tequila.

The second gathering of this group started out in a similar fashion, sipping on a few new tequilas, politely chit chatting away, etc. But before you could say Aye Caramba the party had taken a turn. A much louder, booze spilling, laughter-filled, crazy story telling turn. Hilarious!

Friday's party was a little different too. We had a delicious meal of fajitas and various Mexican style side dishes. And we also learned that Gretchen (our aerobics instructor) makes the best damn Sangria on the west coast.

Sounds like our book club! Except...we've never had any sort of "tame" tequila tasting. We just went straight for the margaritas!
