Bend



This was the first spring break road trip for D&I since 3rd grade. They got pushed aside for chess tournaments, but this year Nationals came early and we had the week free (well, sort of free, given work and a weekend that attempted to include secular seders and equally secular easter eggs).

We headed out Monday morning, not sure of our route or even our destination. We turned right on I-5, and despite an early plan to turn left on 90, we waited until we hit 84 in Portland to head east. Turned right again at the Dalles and made it to Bend by late afternoon. Pulled into LaPine Campground (our old home base) as the snow began to fall.

We didn't get up to Bachelor, but we had a good bike ride west of town, had breakfast (only once) at the Victorian Cafe, and commuted several times back and forth between Bend and LaPine.

Some trips are marked by dinosaurs, some by chess, but this one will be remembered as the football trip.
