Sangria and alone time

My husband and I will be spending a weekend alone for the first time since our honeymoon. We have always celebrated our birthdays (we are 10 days apart) the weekend between them. This year, we have decided to stay home and do nothing. OK, so when you are a mom of 5 you are never EVER doing nothing. But this weekend, I am trying my best to do bare minimum. I am going to make some Sangria. P and I both LOVE it. I never had red sangria until our last trip to Disney World...man is it good! I came home and looked up the recipe in our Spanish cookbook.

Damn Good Sangria:
1 bottle of dry red wine (we used shiraz)
1 orange sliced
1 lemon sliced
1 lime sliced
1 peach peeled, pitted and sliced
about a cup of strawberried sliced (measure, then slice)
1/4 c orange juice
1/2c sugar
1 c. club soda

Put everything except the club soda and strawberries in a big pitcher. Refrigerate over night.
Right before serving, add strawberries and soda.
