4th of July Festivities

We had a great 4th of July weekend. My former roommate Erin - drove over from Portland to visit. She was able to stay at the hotel and we had a blast Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday morning we headed to the Farmer's Market for some great deals. Then we enjoyed lunch at Tagaris Winery - it felt like we left the Tri-Cities for the Italian countryside. Although it was warm - we soaked it up as we ate outside -but in the shade!

Saturday night after church we headed to Columbia Park to watch the fireworks. We got a great patch of grass right near the river for an unobstructed view of the fireworks. It was a great show but the music is was set too was a little lame. And right at the good part of the 1812 overture the fireworks show ended. Talk about anti-climatic! But fireworks are fireworks and they were fun to watch as always.

Sunday we headed to Prosser for lunch and a bit of wine tasting before Erin journeyed back to Portland. It was such a nice weekend. It was so fun to have a dear friend here to explore the Tri-Cities with me and we enjoyed catching up on our lives.
