memorial day weekend 2008



Over Memorial Day weekend, we went with our friends (Justin+Jess) to Sunriver for a few days...it was much needed time to de-stress, get outside, laugh, and catch up on sleep. None of us wanted to go home at the end of our time...we found ourselves saying, "why can't every day be vacation?!?!" The house we stayed at had a beautiful view of the meadow, and was so comfortable. The boys played golf a couple of the days and the weather stayed decent for them. Jess and I treated ourselves...first to the Sage Springs Spa for massages and then to Zante in Bend for facials. Amazing! Saturday night was the Deathcab for Cutie/Decemberists concert at the ampitheater in Bend...we all had tickets but the boys only ended up going because the weather was getting chilly. The sun came off and on throughout the weekend, so we did get out to ride bikes and take walks, which is always something you have to do while in Sunriver! When can we go back?!

one tank at a time

Recently we added a more environmentally-friendly car to our garage...the Honda Civic Hybrid. It is also quite a bit more economically-friendly, costing $35-40 to fill up the tank which can go for 500+ miles! Gas prices are increasing every day (Civic Hybrid gets 40-50+ mpg), but we are so excited about the new technologies in vehicles that are in the near future. Check out these interesting articles:
