AW: All the Wine

[kensie5226]

We just started out on a 7 hour, all day car ride with my in-laws, who I like. However, they are 80 year old Chinese immigrants. His dad is hard of hearing and I can only understand about 65% of what his mom says. They are such lovely people, but that's a long day. They're not drinkers. I totally poured a bottle of wine into a water bottle for the day. Hehehehehe.
Feel free to entertain me

I meant in English. I speak no Chinese, neither does DH. He's second generation and was raised to assimilate. I think it's such a bummer they didn't teach him Chinese.

Wine always makes everything better!

Haha, love the wine in water bottle trick. Is it white or red?

7 hours in a car with anyone is enough to need a drink!

It's white, a Gewürtzraminer that we bought in Sonoma that last time we were here and his under the guest bed.

7 hours? MOAR wine for you!

I hope you threw the bottle somewhere to refill through the trip! That sounds painfully long!


Sidenote: our friends bought a new truck that has a cooler hidden under the floor in the back seat. Makes refilling a roadie on a long trip RIDICULOUS!!

Oh, I have one of those liter bottles so it has an entire bottle of wine it.

The floor compartment sounds ah-mah-zing!

Edit: cause, well wine.

Oh, maybe I should use it. Although, from what my hubby tells me they speak an old village dialect that his mom used before she escaped China. Then his dad kinda picked it up. Their stories are actually pretty amazing.
