Family vacation time.  My husband’s family lives in Vancouver Washington so each year we come up to visit for about a week. Today my husband and I left the kids with Grandma and Grandpa and went to Wine Country.  We spent the day wine tasting and antiquing.  A few hours without “Mom!” was enough but throw in the sheer decadence of  leisurely sipping wine (as opposed to gulping the last bit of lukewarm coffee as I run out the door because we’re late again) and you have a day that comes close to perfect. This is a picture of the Duck Pond Winery where we picked up an award winning bottle of their Pinot Noir. Cheers!
