Edgefield Get-Away / Weekend with Grandpa

Oh, where to start in describing this magical place called McMenamins Edgefield?  It's hotel/brewery/winery/spa/distillery/food haven all on one campus just outside of Portland, OR.  Think summer camp meets spa meets winery.   Think awesomeness.

Anyway, our friends Heather & Jesse invited us there to celebrate her birthday last weekend.  Seeing as it's basically an adult playground (ie lots of booze), we decided to leave Isaac with a babysitter for the weekend. Eric's Dad happily agreed to hang out with the little dude while we had a weekend away.

And what a great weekend it was!  I had a lovely massage and Eric played countless holes of golf (I tried it too). We spent a few hours in the spa's soaking pool, enjoyed exploring the property and being with good friends. We ate a lot of good food and tasted even more great wine and beer.

It had been many months since we'd been away from Isaac overnight, and we missed him a lot.  So we were all excited for the reunion on Sunday. We came home to a happy baby, grandpa & doggy!

Here are a few photos from our weekend:

Part of the group at Friday night dinner (Alex, Heather, Andrew, Pam, Christina & Eric)  There were 16-20 people in our group!

Tasting Scotch

Golfing! (Eric's found a new hobby!)

Isaac & Grandpa had a pretty sweet weekend too; we're told they spent countless hours playing in the back yard and Isaac sure was talkative on Sunday.  So, we have no doubt it was a great weekend for everyone!
