Yesterday we drove across the state to the Portland area. Such a long drive with two restless kids, but we did it and got in just in time to enjoy the evening sun on the back porch at my sister’s house over a glass of vino. Perfect. My sister and brother-in-law own a winery north of Portland and have a small estate vineyard, so before dinner I took the kids out to try to find some berries on the bushes my brother-in-law planted on the east edge of the vineyard. The berry picking was sparse, but it was nice to get out and romp around.
Today the winery is closed (which means my sister is free to play) so we’re heading downtown for a bit of shopping and exploring. Oh, and I promised the kids a trip to Finnegans. I’ve brought my work with me and will be getting up some blog posts in the next few days. Happy Monday!
