Weekend Away

Hey all!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth of July weekend. Tye found out last week that he was going to have a three day weekend for the Fourth, so we took advantage of it and planned a weekend trip. We opted to go somewhere we had never been and headed to Bend, OR. We thought it was in the mountains (it's a ski resort town during the winter for Mt. Bachelor, which is the largest ski resort in Oregon) turns out, it's the desert of the Northwest. It actually was beautiful weather. It never got much warmer than the 80's and was sunshine and beautiful the entire time we were there. It was a great weekend of rest and relaxation. Our room had a 2 person hot tub and a fireplace in it. Which, because it gets in the 40's at night, you can totally use both without dying. Sunday, we did some shopping and headed to a fun center and played mini golf and the batting cages. It was a LOT of fun and I killed Tye at both. Check out the pics from the weekend.

Burger King for dinner on the floor of our hotel room. The room had no table and chairs to sit at. So we ate all our meals on the floor.

Batting cages. I was getting ready to show Tye how to do it.

Batted both lefty and righty. I've got some serious skills.

Tye was brave and went into the fast pitch baseball cage. He actually did really well after he yelled "Oh Sh*t!" when the first pitch came wizzing by him.


This is the form of someone who can't beat me at mini golf.

It's all about following thru with your eyes!

We got balls!!! Tye's ball is actually purple, not blue. Just to clear that up.

Tye has to use all his college math skills to add up that I beat him badly.

The score card proves it all. I beat him by 3.
A really cool bridge just outside of Bend. It is over this 300 ft canyon.

A classic tourist photo. He's so cute.

AHHHHHH!!!!!!! Don't fall over the side!!!!

The railroad bridge across the canyon.

This boat is named Banana Hammock. Hilarious.
