People! That’s what this visit was all about. Seeing my dear friend and her family – including new additions!
After a crazy week on the East Coast, I didn’t feel so hot deplaning at Tri-Cities, Oregon. I was shown a comfy bed in my friend’s beautifully renovated farmhouse.
The next day was more fun. We crashed a farm breakfast meeting – kudos for the Health & Safety focus! – then wandered around Walla Walla town, tasted local wines, had an up close look at dry pea harvest, and generally had a relaxing time hanging with awesome peeps. Can’t wait to go back!
