Well here are Mom and Dad Weaver in Bend, Oregon! We had a great time over the Labor Day weekend with friends Dan and Mary Nelson. We met the Nelsons in Portland and drove to Bend. We stayed in a fun rental house that we found on VRBO. It was just right for us. We toured the area, did some hiking and ate lots of good food. Our favorite areas of interest were the lava beds. We hiked through some very interesting landscape and learned a lot along the way. Our trip to Oregon was a good break from all of the packing we have been doing over the last few weeks. Now we are ready to move into our little "Gem" on Pearl Street for the next 3 and a half months. Many adventures ahead...we will keep you posted.
