the gift of getaways

A getaway, even just a twenty four hour one, brings considerable joy to my life. So much, that I recently gave my friend Lindsey one as a birthday present. This way, I'm giving a present to someone else and myself. That is the rule, right? If you give the gift of a giveaway, you're automatically going with. I found a Groupon for the Oregon Garden Resort in Silverton, Oregon and I have to be honest, we didn't see the gardens at all. We did however, discover the fine wine of the Willamette Valley. We made the plan to head down south early in order to pass by a few wineries that are so kindly open through the winter. We got a pleasant surprise discovering a number of antique shops were located around our wine tasting locations, so we strolled into a number of them. On Sunday morning, we headed to breakfast where I experienced the best english muffin I have ever consumed, along with a lavender white chocolate mocha. Amazing. After breakfast, we tried our luck with Silver Falls before heading home, but we were only able to stick around to see one of the many waterfalls in the park. Unfortunately for us, the rain chased us away.
