We recently welcomed by aunt for a visit here in the Tri-Cities. Our plan our a nice BBQ out on the back porch on the evening of her arrival was soured by the unusual rain storm, so we all (including Oscar) ate our grill shrimp inside and had a nice visit our first evening.
While she'd visited several years ago, it was only briefly. Now ES and I had more time to relax, catch up, and visit a few of the sites in town.
We started out our day at the CRESHT museum, home of the "all about Hanford." ES wanted to pose with the "guide" and couldn't help getting a boy chuckle out of the fish names. I pointed out the a is actually pronounced like it's an o. Not that that mattered to him....
We visited Walla Walla and stopped at L'Ecole winery along the way. The winery itself is in a converted school building (hence L'ecole = French for school). Beautiful old building. ES even got to ring the school bell outside. After stopping at the Creektown Cafe for lunch (highly recommended), but headed to the Whitman Mission. It was such a lovely afternoon, we walked about the grounds and enjoyed the afternoon. 
We had some lovely dinners and wonderful conversation - just like when ES and I lived back in Northern VA. We were sad to see my aunt leave and hope for a return visit soon.
