My fantastic sisters, who live in Massachusetts (one on the Cape and the other in the Pioneer Valley) recently came for a visit. Since they'd never been here before we decided to spend part of their visit hanging around the Walla Walla Valley. I highly recommend being a tourist right here at home. First on our agenda was browsing downtown Walla Walla, and lunch at The Green Spoon was delish. A Friday night concert with Joy Mills on the lawn at Three Rivers Winery was briefly interrupted by a storm, but the reward was great music and a double rainbow framing the Blues. The Sweet Onion Festival and the Farmers Market were also a big hit (each of them took home a small bag of WW Sweets).

| My sisters Laurie and Martha meet Waitsburg's most famous resident Izzy |
We took a short side trip to Waitsburg through the golden fields of wheat and sweeping vistas. Stopped by to see Izzy, who obligingly came over to visit with us (and plant a kiss on my sister Martha). Caught a bite at Coppei Coffee and visited the kitties and friendly folks at the Waitsburg Hardware & Mercantile.

We finished out the day touring the vineyards south of WW. Alas, we couldn't taste at all of them but ended our tour at one of our favorites, Castillo de Feliciana. Dinner at South Fork Grill provided a perfect ending to a perfect day.
So glad your sisters got here & that you all had a good time! Seems that you lucked out on the weather, also. We've had cool/cloudy, sometimes rainy, weather off & on in Tacoma, interspersed with nice days like yesterday (July 24), which was our son-in-law's 48th b'day. He'll celebrate by climbing Mt. Baker in August.
