In a mere hour, Portlanders can drive and find themselves standing on a windy beach by the rolling pacific ocean. Three hours in the opposite direction from this fair city, you can reach Bend, Oregon. Home to nearby Mt Bachelor…
…and home to this lovely little family!
The only one missing in this photo is their adorable son who was at his kindergarten class when this photo was taken.
We headed east to Bend for a few days, where Josh and old pal Gernot played in the snow up on Mt. Bachelor while Aspasia, the kids and I all caught up and played in town.
On our last morning before leaving them, we took a little hike up Pilot Butte on a perfectly sunny day, where we could see all of the surrounding mountains.
It was really nice to get some fresh air and sunshine! And so great to have Asher meet our long time friends.
