We’ve been hanging out in Bend, Oregon since Wed and staying at a very nice place, Crown Villa RV Park.  It has been great to spread out, dry out and get organized a bit.  This is a very cool town and one that we could stay in for a long time.  I can see my brother loving this place.  Lots of fun, active, social people and dogs are allowed everywhere!

Yesterday, we explored the Old Mill District.  Went to the Public Market and completed our Bend Ale Trail tour that we started on Thursday – hit 9 of 10 breweries. Met some great people along the way and of course sampled many local brews.  Our favorites were 10 Barrel and Bend Brewing Company.  When we come back here with a group, we HAVE to do it by bicycle.  Check this thing out…your group pedals and you can drink beer along the way.

We were supposed to golf today, but the rain is back, so we decided to cancel.  Should have known because we washed the car yesterday.  Mike is flushing the water tanks as we speak and I will head over to the clubhouse to do some laundry.  Maybe we’ll hit the food truck scene and Hangover 3 tonight.

Heading to Crater Lake tomorrow.

5 random observations from me:
1. My house is on wheels, so things are going to go wrong.  I’m trying to go with the flow.
2. DirecTV absolutely sucks!
3. Mike & I are both indecisive people.
4. I am feeling unbelievably relaxed.
5. Mike is the most patient person in the world.
