{Wine Tasting + Picnic at David Hill}


Things got so busy right before our trip to Portland I didn’t even get to blog about our two-year wedding anniversary. It fell on a work night, the day before I was leaving for home, so to be honest it wasn’t the most incredible anniversary ever. But we did make time to go out for an amazing meal (in a greenhouse!) and for some quality time together before I left Corey for two weeks (torture!).

When we were home, partly as a little celebration and partly just because we hadn’t been back since our wedding day, we went out to the winery where we tied the knot. Corey’s parents and my mom joined as we did a little wine tasting, then enjoyed a picnic among the vines enjoying a fantastic pinot noir. Being back was so special – the place hadn’t changed a bit.  

**Update! Apparently you guys like my dress ;) Thanks! It's from Zara. Unfortunately I got it on super sale while I was in Bruges with my sis, and I don't see it online.

  1. Congratulations on your 2 year wedding anniversary. I'm celebrating my 3 year dating anniversary at the end of September and I was looking for some ideas to celebrate. Going back to a place special to us sounds like a wonderful idea! Thank you for the inspiration.

    Also, your dress is absolutely gorgeous!!!

    When I was home this summer, my parents and I went back to the restaurant Joe & I were married in - so fun to reminisce. Unfortunately, Joe wasn't with us :-(
