On Friday night we headed to a funky hotel about 45 minutes away for a belated birthday celebration for me. (For those of you familiar with Oregon, it was the Grand Lodge, a McMinnimin's hotel in Forest Grove.) We ate and drank to our heart's content, swam in the soaking pool (twice!), and even played a few holes of Frisbee golf. Even though we didn't go far, it was nice to escape the house for a night, and free my mind of all that I 'should' be doing.
Saturday, on the way home, we stopped by a small u-pick apple orchard to pick a few apples. This orchard was new to us, and was a bit disappointing.... the apples were pretty picked over and the signs were confusing... but it was nice to pick some of our own apples none-the-less. I do hope to head to Hood River again sometime in the next few weeks to go pick at our regular spot. I love this time of year in Oregon....
