Durham Bulls stadium; Kari attempting to and succeeding at ruining the picture |
On Friday night, they had fireworks! To my surprise, the show was much more impressive than I had anticipated. Better than some of the 4th of July fireworks shows I have seen throughout my life. Sitting in the outfield has never been better either because the fireworks were almost right above our heads. Just beautiful. Here’s a little sneak peak.
On Saturday night, Barefoot Wines & Bubbly held a free wine tasting on the concourse right as you arrive. They were sampling their new Barefoot Refresh line for summertime. As bizarre as it sounds, Barefoot encourages you to drink it over ice. Ironically so, my mom would probably love this wine. She recently acquired a taste for it, mostly the sweet stuff like Moscato, but every time I see her drinking it, there’s ice in her cup. And every time I see her doing that, I scold her. You’re never supposed to put ice in your wine cause it dilutes the flavor. Well Barefoot is defying that rule big time. They even served the samples with ice at the ball game. I’m personally more of a dry wine kind of girl, but these wines would be pretty refreshing poolside under the sun.
After the game, we explored a bit of downtown Durham and had a few drinks and appetizers at Alivia’s. You must try the Firefly drinks. I know they look girly, but you can’t beat Firefly vodka with some peach schnapps and syrup in a mason jar.

Happy Saturday night |
Wow, I didn’t realize how long this post got. So I’ll leave you there, and if you’re in Durham during the summertime, I urge you to catch a game and head out on the town afterwards. There are so many places to try yet so little time. Good luck.
