My wonderful husband planned our honeymoon as a wedding gift to me. The trip? A bike ride through Willamette Valley wine country, staying at adorable B&B's, tasting fabulous wine, & checking out the beautiful scenery. We started out the trip by meeting up with Dan & Linds for a super fun night out on the town. The next day, we packed it in & started our trip. A few pictures from the adventure:
Dinner at our first B&B
We were going to out to a restaurant, but our "mom" laid out a large tray of local cheeses, spreads, olives, & homemade bread with a bottle of local wine. We made it dinner & it was divine.
Loading up the bikes at Pedro's house
Hops! There are fields & fields of hops. Steve was salivating.
Does anyone know what this flower is? We couldn't get over the blue color. From far away, it honestly looked like a pond on someone's property. The flowers didn't smell very nice, but they had the most beautiful color. And the bees were going crazy.

At our second-to-last B&B (& my favorite), the husband & wife allowed us to borrow their car to drive into town for dinner. This is us by the car - we were so incredibly grateful! We were able to shower & dress up for a nice dinner & drinks in town. No bikes for the night. :)
We had a wonderful time & highly recommend Willamette Valley for their wine country. Wonderful wineries & the people that run them, delicious wine, bounties of delectable restaurants, & the most charming B&B's. We hope to go back someday! (Although we'll probably take our car next time & use the bikes for day trips :))

Looks and sounds like you guys had an awesome time! I live out here and have yet to go to a vineyard - it's a problem that I need to fix.
And I'm glad I could see you while you were out here and meet the wonderful Steve.
Chat soon!
