Birthday Vacation

We took a Birthday Vacation last month to celebrate our shared March birthdays and traveled down to Medford/Ashland Oregon for a 3 day weekend. This happened right before we restarted journaling but in our attempt at keeping regular posts, enjoy.

Day 1 - the drive
We started with wine tastings along the way - the first one was closed
Great view at the next vineyard - Agate Ridge -Yummy
Matthew at a wine Cellar - they had snackies with the wine

View from the hotel room
Real view.....
Day 2 -Hiking, more wine....
We started the day with an early morning hike up Table Rock
A picture on the drive to table rock (see it all flat straight ahead)
- note the most recent rock chip - this one courtesy of Matthew
Starting the hike - we thought it would be chilly
It was a nice and shady STEEP hike - we ran down
It was so flat after being SO steep
(in the spring these lakes will fill with flowers)
Looking over the edge
Don't fall Leah! (I am holding on)
The self timed camera did not fall either
After that we went to the annual CHEESE FESTIVAL
at the Rogue Creamery where we sampled, cheese, wine and chocolate
- AWESOME

Dinner in Ashland at a British Pub
- Matthew got fish and Chips - Leah got tofu (yeah Oregon)
Day 3 - Play!
The next day we went on a run/mostly walk and then booked it to Ashland for Sushi lunch and watched Pride and Prejudice by the OR Shakespeare Festival and then booked it home
