31

I turned 31 today! Jeff's parents watched Madeleine on Friday so we could go hiking and then out to dinner in Seattle. We ate yummy sushi and then had a dessert at a little wine bar we like near the arboretum. It was great to have some time together!

On Saturday we woke up and hit the road, heading East for some wine tasting and leaving Madeleine with my parents for the night. Thanks mom & dad!

Jeff's mom likes wine tasting as much as Jeff & I do so we decided this would be something fun to do while they visited. Greg isn't into wine but he enjoyed the drive and just hanging out for the w/e. Jeff's mom actually has a friend that lives in Yakima so we visited her and had dinner at her amazing restaurant on Saturday night. Yum!

At one of our favorite wineries, Tapteil Winery...beautiful views!

We usually visit Yakima during barrel tasting and never when the fruit is still on the vine.

Another favorite, Terra Blanca

At the end of the day, just being silly

Jeff could have killed me for making him sit here and get a picture taken - ha!

At Cafe Melange with Julie's highschool friend!

A new favorite winery - Wilridge Winery in Yakima. They also own the "Tasting Room" in Post Alley at Pike's Place Market but the actual winery is in Yakima. The wine was so yummy and the winery was so darling...just a cute little tasting room with beautiful views. They serve yummy little bites like cheese, meats and Theo chocolate! It was our last stop before heading home and a fantastic way to end our trip!
