A Sweet Fall Adventure

On Sunday, Jason and I took Bereket to Vino in the Valley. The little outdoor pizza and pasta restaurant set right in a vineyard is one of our favorite fall escapes. We discovered this enchanted spot just before we went to Ethiopia to bring Bereket home last September and we were so excited to bring her with us this time!  

After we had our fill of caesar salad and wood-fired pizzas, we set out to explore the beautiful vineyard and grounds. It was a warm, bright afternoon, the leaves were starting to change color, and early fall was in all its glory!

We took a hayride through the vineyard to the river. Bereket was thrilled!

On the way home, we stopped by our favorite apple orchard.  Bereket was a true explorer in their outdoor straw maze!

 And she wasn't the least bit scared when she encountered this other-worldly creature!

 

What a wonderful way to celebrate a new season! May the memories of this warm, special day keep our hearts warm in the cooler months to come!
