Welcome to our private pond. We spent most of our time here bathing in the sun, reading, playing games, swimming, drinking, eating, laughing. You name it, we likely did it. I am still in shock that this is where I spent the last four days. That is a VINEYARD in the background, what?!?!

Have you ever been to Sonoma? Um, if not, you must go -- it is marvelous there! The reason we headed down was to cheer on our friend Caitlin, who entered herself into her first triathlon ... which happened to me a Half Ironman, you go girl! I was supposed to do it too, but failed to sign-up in time. I figured, if I couldn't race I sure could cheer, and that I did. Do you see how yoked she is? It's no wonder she smashed the course and finished in 5:45, woot!
Post Caitlin's race we decided that wine tasting was probably the best thing she could do to recover, so we walked to a beautiful winery just down the road from where we were staying. Did I mention that we got to stay in a house, on a vineyard, that had a private pond? More photos of that to come soon.
Here's a quick shot of where I spend the 4th last weekend, on beautiful Vashon Island. I am hoping to show you more, but that will have to happen later because this week seemed to come-and-go before my eyes!
This is the first weekend in about 5 weeks where I will be spending a full day in my home, wahoo! I'm looking forward to catching up on a few things (like dishes, laundry, you know) and relaxing. Then I'm headed to Portland on Sunday to pick up a new addition to my studio -- more on that next week!
