Wine shopping anyone?

Another sunny day dawned in Philly and Simone's hubby bubbled with enthusiasm. Not about the weather: about the day's outing! "Your father is going to take us to a few wine shops today. The prices and the selection are so much better here in the states - and that superstore in Maryland has some amazing wines. This is going to be great!" Gushed hubby. Simone looked at the sunshine, filtering through the leaves of the trees outside and thought that a day spent hopping from wine shop to wine shop would be mighty boring for little B, especially on a day like today. "How about you guys go wine shopping and I'll stay here with the kids? I'm sure little B would love to go to the playground for the morning?" She suggested. Little B concurred heartily and so it was that Simone and the little guy walked to the local playground a little while after the men had left on their adventure. The place was packed with kids, parents, guardians, brothers, sisters and four-legged friends. Little B spent nearly two hours climbing and sliding, chasing and laughing. When he finally wound down, they headed home, each of them smiling. Hubby and Simone's dad arrived soon after, both of them also visibly pleased with their outing. "Thank-you for letting me drive your car," Simone's dad said. And he seemed genuinely pleased to have done so. All in all, a pretty successful morning's work...
