A Wintry Exploration of Central Oregon

December 21 - 25, 2013
Crater Lake National Park, Bend and Eugene, OR

As Scott had both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off from work, we took the opportunity for a brief holiday road trip up to central Oregon. What a hidden gem of a region! It's so stunningly beautiful (if a bit gloomy at times) and yet it's not commonly mentioned as a travel destination, in particular the mountainous area between Bend and Eugene, among Californians anyway.

Happy Holidays from Scott and Caroline!

Wishing you the Merriest of Holidays!

Merry Christmas (oink, oink!)
and a Happy New Year!

Scott, Caroline, & Santa Pig!

Many thanks to the wonderful friends who joined us on Saturday evening to celebrate the season with drinks and dinner at our humble abode.  We truly enjoyed opening our home and sharing our food and drink with each and every one of you and look forward to making more memories with you in 2014!  Happy holidays to all!

Thank you, Dominique, for capturing some of these moments on our camera!  

Cheers!

Happy Thanksgiving from Lake Tahoe!
