For Mike's 33rd Birthday Celebration, we spent this past weekend in Bend, OR. We originally chose Bend because we wanted to stay at the McMenamins Old St. Francis School, since Mike enjoyed their Kennedy School (Portland, OR) so much, but a 6-hour drive can be pretty long for a Friday night. However, once we arrived, around 9PM, and after some shock at the size of the hotel (super small) and the size of the crowds at the hotel (super crowded) we were glad we came.
Bend has the beautiful Deschutes River running right through it. There's a trail system that runs along side it for portions at a time that we utilized quite heavily while visiting. It's a shame the river trail isn't more developed or continuous, however, but it was nice and fun to ride our bikes around the town and walk along the river.
We left around 11AM this morning and took a lovely scenic route back home, through The Dalles and along the Columbia River. We stopped at Multnomah Falls for a quick walk and some pretty scenery, but quickly got back on the road and arrived home around 6PM.
