Even though we didn't take a lot of photos, Michael and I definitely enjoyed our short trip "away" to Silverton, OR. We took the kids up to Michael's parents' house on Saturday morning and retrieved them on Sunday evening. In between we got lunch at the Oregon City Farmer's Market, stopped for a wine tasting at Vitus Ridge on our way to downtown Silverton. We walked around downtown Silverton, walked around the Frank Lloyd Wright house, (unfortunately we couldn't take the tour) and enjoyed our dinner and stay at The Oregon Garden Resort. I particularly enjoyed our walks around the Oregon Garden, even though in October there's not a lot still blooming. But there are a lot of fruit trees and bushes of interest and I love reading all the little signs and seeing the demonstration garden type things (composting can be so interesting, right?!) On Sunday we attended a local evangelical church service then spent several hours hiking around Silver Falls. Then back up to Vancouver to pick up the kids! As usual, we really enjoyed our time together and look forward to our next couple's getaway!

| The house my grandparents built in Molalla: we drove past to see how the old place is getting on. A little disappointing! |
 |
| Fun wine tasting experience - and of course, we bought some wine to take home. Odd how the wine gets better and better as you go along! ;-) |

| A late second lunch to help ameliorate the effects of the wine-tasting experience! |

| Our shoes were pretty muddy by the time we were done here! |
