Welcome to CbsoP on the scene at Grapefest 2008 from Grapevine Texas! This post is a first for several reasons. It’s not only the very first travel article I’ve ever done, but it’s also the first time in memory where pictures of your intrepid host will be seen here on CbsoP. The time for avoiding the camera has ended, folks. I can’t do an on scene report without some proof that I was actually there, now can I?

A warning: This is a food related travel post, so by definition, it is image heavy.  I’m not going to bog down your RSS readers with all of them, so you’ll have to pop in to hear about one of the best and worst days in recent memory for those of us on the CbsoP! Team. (OK, my wife, my son and I.  The dog wasn’t allowed!)

First of all, my wife and i are headed out to GrapeFest in “Historic Grapevine Texas” this Friday. We were originally planning to go for both Thursday and Friday’s festivities, but with me coming off the first cold of the year and our son coming off his 2 year old shots, it seemed a much better idea to just make it a day-trip.

From what I’ve been able to see, it looks like a heck of a fun time.  Check out the official commercial:

On another note, my wife is really pushing her weight Watcher’s and physical exercise regimen, and has been doing wonderfully! (Applause, everyone. Applause!) So expect a lot more healthy dishes to be springing up and if I can find the time, I’ll be adding nutritional information as well as Weight Watcher’s points to some or all of my recipes. (There’s nothing like adding a ton of work to my life just before the Holiday season, right!?!)

And there you have the most recent slew of updates from we at CbsoP! Be looking for pics and observations on GrapeFest on Saturday or Sunday.

Will anyone else be attending? If so, wanna have a glass of wine?
