Kevin and I escaped to Walla Walla last weekend for some much needed time away.
We devoured every
(kid free) moment together while Abigail and George stayed with Mamie and Papa to enjoy a weekend full of sweet treats and fun outings.
We stayed at
Areus and were once again impressed with our gracious host, accommodations, and breath taking grounds.
We are pretty familiar with wineries in the West and airport regions, so we focused on the South this time and while we were charmed by the beautiful tasting rooms and breathtaking views of the Blue Mountains, our attempt to find new wine we love proved fruitless (pun
totally intended) ;)
We did however hit up a few old favorites: 3 Rivers, and Charles Smith (of K Vitner), and were delighted with a new discovery: Pepperbridge.

And of course, no walla walla trip of ours would be complete without a drive through the beautiful countryside (and an obscene amount of pics!)
We were so reenergized by this trip.
The rolling hills, sweet summer air, and smooth, silky wines never fail to seduce our senses and bring us anew.
