To Bend or Bust!

August 2008- Before the summer winds down we wanted to do a little traveling in Oregon so we decided on the Bend area, it's a high desert and very beautiful. We stayed at the Eagle Crest Resort where we biked around the property, swam, and just relaxed. It was really neat to go to Bend, the downtown area was really fun. There are lots of fun things but by far the coolest was the river that goes through the downtown. The river is called the Deshutes and it's a very lazy river, lazy enough that you can get anything that blows up and float on it down the river. Ben, Hannah, and Josh did it and they just loved it. It's funny but that whole area really reminded me of Disney's California Adventure.

On the way back we stopped by the state fair. It was a fun fair, I'm a big lover of people watching. The kids had fun petting goats and riding farm equipment. Then we headed home, it was a fun trip.
