Camping Trip

A special thanks goes out to Simone and Kim (my friend Jason's wife) for letting us out for a weekend of camping.

We skipped out of town around 1pm on Friday hoping to snag a site around Timothy Lake near Mt. Hood. Of course, after dealing with some traffic getting out of town, when we arrive we couldn't find a site. So, off to the next option - Ollalie Lake. The sign at Timothy Lake said 25 miles. After driving around 10 miles down a forest road we come to the next sign - Ollalie Lake 28 miles. Once we accepted the fact that somehow space-time was distorted we continued our trek. Alas we found Detroit Lake first and settled for Cleator Bend campground in the Willamette National Forest. Our site was located right on the Breitenbush River. Needless to so we had beautiful weather and a relaxing weekend.

A Visit to Matt and Alicia's

We headed over to visit Matt and Alicia this afternoon . One of the things that we learned is that Nick absolutely LOVES red peppers. He must have eaten a entire red pepper's worth of sliced, raw, red peppers. Enjoy the video.
