The Painted Lady

I can not even tell you how excited I am right now...because...ME AND EMMA ARE GOING TO THE PAINTED LADY!!!! :)  Its this restaurant in Newberg that I saw on a "top ten restaurants in the country list" forever ago and have been dying to go to.  For my birthday my parents asked me what I wanted and I only had three things: reservations at The Painted Lady, a hot air balloon ride, or to go caving.  I knew I would only get one of these things and Im so happy with the one I got!
