Happy Tuesday March 8, 2022

Russell's Birthday Celebration continued.....

A very sweet Standard Poodle at
De Ponte Winery. What a cutie!


After visiting two wineries we drove to McMinnville.
We had made reservations at Hotel Oregon where
we have stayed before. We had also made dinner
reservations at Nick's restaurant right next door!
We had a delightful and delicious dinner.
The next day after breakfast we decided to visit 
the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville.
What an amazing place!
From Howard Hughes Spruce Goose ....


to far earlier airplanes...it was amazing!


And the Museum had so much historical information
also. We spent several hours and could have 
spent even more. We will come back and go 
through it again!


After several hours we then got back into our car
and drove back to our cozy home and our very
happy cat Lucy! Our sweet neighbor took care
of her while we were gone, but as we all say....
"There's no place like home!!"

  3. Russell had a purrfect bday and a most purrfect companion.
    My guy would love the aviation museum. We have something similar here on our coast dedicated to the Wright Bros first flight.
    Lucy darling you look quite happy
