revived.relaxed.refreshed.reconnected.

what a wonderful
get away we had.

we drove the approximately 
five hours to get to 
portland, oregon
to be with family

our daughter
met us there
she drove up from california
over seven hours for her.
but, we were all together
and it was lovely indeed.

we had a great time.
there was shopping, lots of food,
laughing, visiting and the main event
was the oregon korea benefit auction!

the following morning 
after breakfast
 we said goodbye
to the kids-
then my sister in law
and brother in law
took us wine tasting.
what a beautiful day
it was!





one of the actual owners of this vineyard
took us on a personal tour!

refreshen
and reconnect

with people
