A Finnish Kind of Week = A Blast!

Tomi and Elisa traveled from Finland to the West Coast this week to experience the Oregon Wineries and famous Pinot. We had the privilege of hosting them for three days of their trip and had a wonderful time! Tomi has been a friend of Dave's for a very long time and I met Tomi during our wedding week and festivities last June. I think Tomi and Elisa would agree we all feel like we've known each other forever..we all have a lot in common as couples and truly enjoyed each others company!
Below are pictures of their stay with us! Wednesday we took them to Canon Beach and it was a beautiful day! Wednesday night they made a Finnish dinner and it was delicious and so fun! Thursday we drove around Portland City and had lunch at Rogue Brewery; a must have during their first trip here as Rogue brew is huge in this city! We had a nice sushi dinner date and watched live music last night and this morning before they left, we had lunch with Dave. It  truly was a great time.
Great picture of Tomi and Dave
