“Take your health and a bottle of bubbly into your hands like Queen Elizabeth and get ready to live to 120.”

This has been the moment I’ve been waiting for, for the past 21 years of my life. I have dreamed of going to wine tasting since I started watching The Real Housewives and have been dying to go to the Malibu Wine Safari since I saw it on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

I invited my two best friends, put on my favorite dress, and got ready for some adventure and wine!

I cannot compliment this safari enough. There were caves, zebras, llamas, and giraffes, oh my! And the craziest part was that it was hidden in the mountains surrounding Malibu, so basically in my little backyard.

I remember sitting in Germany last year, thinking it couldn’t get better than having milkshakes and sunshine at the castle. But enjoying a beautifully warm day with the girls who have been there with me for every college milestone, seemed like the most flawless way to end my college career and enjoy a Friday off from baseball…oh yeah, and my birthday!

The guides, Wes and Christine, were so absolutely hysterical and fun and the many views were breathtaking. Overall, I’m going to be honest, it was the most perfect day and location that I think anyone could experience.

I was able to get a French kiss from Stanley (my entire agenda for the day) and twirl around in pure bliss. Which is great, because that’s my recipe for an ethereal and brilliant day.
