Brasada Ranch

 Russ and I got away for the weekend, sans kids! We haven't done that in well...ever!
We got a little deal on Groupon for a place down by Bend, Oregon called Brasada Ranch.
The drive out we went over Mt Hood and it was beautiful!
 The first night was kinda cloudy, but Saturday was perfect weather.  We got up and went for a hike up to Spirit Rock, got ready and went into Bend for some shopping. When we got back we wanted to hike the taller hill behind Spirit Rock so we got our hikin' shoes on and went for it. It was a good little hike (my calves are still sore from it).
 Our cabin backed up to the golf course, I did what I do best...find golf balls.  Ha! That's for you, Ma. We grabbed some groceries in Bend and had ourselves a little BBQ.
 We loved the hot tub on the back of the cabin, perfect after shopping and hiking all day!


 The view was great, really private.

The drive home was beautiful, even with the snow over Santiam Pass it was so pretty to see the snow covered trees along that scenic drive.
A HUGE thanks to the Yees and Philpots for watching our kids, we have amazing friends and feel so blessed to have them in our lives!
