The Methow

Over Memorial Day Weekend we spent a day in one of my most favorite places (aside from my new love, Bend), The Methow.  First up was Mazama for a fun run.  My sis and I did a 10k trail run (well, a 6.6 mile 10k) and Ian and the boys did a 1k. The kid's run was darling, seeing all those kids running through a meadow was priceless.  And Cal's competitive side definitely came out. Pre-run he was telling us how he was going to run fast, push kids out of the way and win. And then Ian caught him giving another kid a major stare down before takeoff. Looks like my little dude has the runner's bug like his mama cause as soon as he was done, he wanted to know when he could do another race.

The trail run my sis and I did was beautiful. It was my first trail run and I love it. We ran through the woods, along the river, etc. I definitely think we have an annual Memorial Day weekend tradition on our hands.
so happy to see the finish line
the highlight for this guy, the horses
after the race and spending some time in Mazama, we went into Winthrop for a little wine tasting, park fun & shopping.
No trip would be complete without a stop at Twisp River Pub... best food ever!

A weekend away in paradise.

I'm in love & I fell hard... We spent the weekend in Bend, OR to celebrate our anniversary (#6!) and it couldn't have been more perfect. Granted, taking the two little dudes along for the ride made for a few hiccups, but all-in-all we had such a wonderful time. I feel like I've been missing out my last 31 years of life not knowing about this hidden paradise tucked away in Central Oregon. We enjoyed 3 days of fun in the sun - biking, eating, playing & drinking our way through the town.  Hands down, Bend has to be the most bike, kid, dog-friendly town.... a perfect combo in my book.
