Bend, Oregon - Day One

Jon and I were still kind of pooped from our big drive yesterday, so we laid pretty low today. However, I did manage to get outside for a little bit to snap a few pictures of the neighborhood.


This is where we're staying.

Just a little peek around the corner yielded one beautiful house after another with their carefully composed yards celebrating the glory of nature.






Did some research on the internet to find interesting places to visit and tried to locate them on the map.


Did I mention I'm spending this vacation with 4 cyclists? Well, some of it anyways...


Some of the spectacular views from the top of Pilot Butte


Tomorrow I hope to explore some of Downtown Bend!

Going to Bend

Yesterday we drove 13+ hours from Los Angeles to Bend, Oregon. Although there were plenty of scenic pictures to be taken, Jon and I had both packed our cameras away and could not retrieve them easily. So the "en route" pictures will be taken on the way back.
