Hmmm, last week didn't start out so well, with that lil trip to the ER and all. And then, I was in a crappy mood all week long. I hate that- stupid hormones! Anyway, so the week got better, then worse, then AWESOME! Why so grand you say? Cause, we got to party! My bro invited us to come along to the Chatoe Rogue. It's a farm house on a hop farm (many many many acres of hop farm) and the hops go to Rogue Brewery. The house was over a hundred years old, and was very well kept up. The farm was just super cool and right on the river. There was a tasting room that's open daily. The host was THE HOSTEST WITH THE MOSTEST (thanks Cat!), super duper nice, and I've actually met her several times before at DCA events. Such a small world. Anyway, Justin's friend Luke is in a band, and all of his band cronies were there and we basically got an awesome show. (Oh,and get this, he played on New years 2009 at Strega, and we totally enjoyed his band and were the only ones dancing in that stuffy highrise restaurant. Like I said, small world.) I have to say, if you are ever in Oregon, this lil place in Independence is the place to go! 5 bed, 2 bath house rents for only $300/night! Crazy good deal! Oh, and we got to sleep on bunk beds. Fun. and play croquet (my team won!). and watch the super bowl. and, I got peed on by a turtle (yeah, a small blind turtle who I swear hadn't peed in a year and let it all loose on lil ol me...it was kinda funny though).
I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.
Good morning sunshine!
