After spending a great couple of days in Washington we needed to figure out where to go next. It is still too cold to go camping so we looked at all sorts of cool Guest Houses and even a house boat, but ultimately found a cozy two bedroom cabin in Mt. Hood, Oregon. It has been wonderful hibernating here. We got enough groceries for the week and have been reading books and just relaxing. It took some adjustment at first, this notion of relaxing, but it is something that I could really get used to. It even snowed a couple of days. For those fellow Floridians who have never experienced this thing called snow, it is like rain but much colder (Wikipedia eat your heart out). And in my dorky excitement I even called my mom to sing "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire", because the snow reminded me of Christmas. Not like Christmas in Florida, because we are usually wearing shorts of course, but other peoples Christmas. Like on TV...maybe I shouldn't have shared.
While here we also visited the Boneville Dam and fish hatchery and played in the snow on Mount Hood.
Next week we go pick up the Coach in Junction City and we are off to The Grand Teton Mountains! Woohoo!!
