Easter Weekend Wine Tasting


For Easter weekend Nik and I wanted to do something fun. We don't have any family here, so we decided to get out of town and head to Hood River for some wine tasting. Nik has always been a beer guy, but he swore it off for Lent, so I figured this was a good time to break him out of his shell and taste some wine instead. He had never been tasting before, so I new this was going to be a treat. We started at a place called Wy'East Winery and worked ourselves around the valley at different wineries tasting away. 



The Hood River Valley is actually becoming really well known for its wines. We enjoyed most of the places, buying bottles to take home. The best part was, we met two couples who were staying at our hotel. We kept running into them around the wineries and really hit it off. We finished the night having dinner with the group. It was so much fun! To top it all off, the weather was spectacular. It was the warmest it had been all year and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. 

The name of the winery is Naked Winery
The next morning, Nik and I had a great breakfast followed by Wanda getting her swim time in the Columbia River. We really just spent Easter Day shopping around and enjoying the last bit of sunshine we were to get for a few days. Bad weather was coming again. 


We enjoyed ourselves immensely, but at the same time we missed being with our families. We hope each of you had a wonderful Easter. We love you!
