Some more vacation photos to share. This was our Saturday in Bellingham. They have a really neat little farmer’s market that we like to wander to after lunch at Boundary Bay. Sort of a ritual when the weather is nice and we’re up there. There were people blending smoothies with bicycle power…. delicious foods and cheeses…. and, of course: face painting. Ruari had her first face painting that day. She saw a girl with whiskers and said she really wanted them. SO, that’s what she got. We showed her a reflection… and, I think she was a bit in shock at first… but, then quickly realized that having whiskers is pretty darn awesome. She has been asking where her whiskers are ever since.
After lunch and the farmer’s market we went to a Bellingham winery, Vartanyan. I’m always up for tasting wine (especially on vacation). hee. It was wonderful. We even hit up the winery on the right weekend. They were letting all tasters bottle their own bottle of wine…. SO, I milked the wine cow (seriously… wine utters) and stamped the cork in… added a fancy label… and, ta dah! Wine. We are supposed to wait about 5 months to drink it. I think I can wait….
We ended the evening sitting outside in beautiful weather drinking, well…. more wine! So much wine that weekend.
Happy Wednesday!

Yeah, you definitely should wait to open the bottle. It might not be so yummy if you don't wait!

I LOVE wine tastings – and that looks like so much fun.
Thanks for hosting 🙂 My 1st pic is an 'x' so I linked up again, not sure how to un-link the broken pic link. Sorry about that :/
Boundary Bay looks amazing! I would love to check it out some day!

Oooooh! I love Boundary Bay!! Anytime we drive through – that's where the hubs and I stop. 🙂

I went to college in Bellingham! I miss it so much! Love it there. Jealous.
Bellingham is wonderful.
I love Bellingham….we are only about 20 minutes from there and they have some excellent restaurants!
Yes they do. 🙂
WINE! Sounds like the best day ever.
Oh great now I want cheese! My kids are so obsessed with face painting now that I had to go to Michael's and buy a kit so I could do it at home myself. Not all that well, might I add. I have some learning to do!
Oh my! I want to go to there immediately if not sooner! 😀
We love it there.
Fellow wine cow-milker over here. Seriously. I love it.
