Waaayyy back in late March Mia was brilliant enough to book us a campsite at Lost Lake Campground for early August. She’d read that the sites booked super fast so the idea was to jump on it while the thought was hot. Well, total slam dunk on this one. We scored with an incredible weekend…

Twin Lakes
Another weekend, another hike with Mia and Codi. This one was all about getting out to some place a bit cooler. Temps for the PDX Metro area were calling for upper 90’s all weekend, so we wanted a hike with some water and some elevation. Mia picked Twin Lakes based on this hike being listed…

Lava Cast Forest
Day 2 in Bend started out with a trip to The Dough Nut just up the street from our rental. Pretty good, didn’t surpass my favorite find in Oregon so far (Blue Star Donuts), but I will definitely go back. Codi was pretty wiped out from our Green Lakes Hike, so the goal was to…
Green Lakes Hike
Mia signed up for the Bend, OR GRIT Clinic several months ago, so too bad for us, we had to make a weekend trip down to Bend. That’s always such a tough decision, and it’s never any fun coming here. (yes, that is all sarcasm). Since we’d be bringing the dog we wanted to rent…
