The countdown begins!

There are trips I take every year that are like clockwork. My February trip to see my sweet grandchildren and the trip my Mister's company sends us on every year. We also take an anniversary trip every year but I am not sure we will this year.

This year, we will be going to Sunriver Resort about 15 miles south of Bend, Oregon for the Mister's Service Weekend. What I love about the Service Weekends is we have to attend a dinner on Saturday night where they give away prizes. IPods, Kindles, TVs, Keurigs, gas cards and the big prize, a trip to Tahoe. The rest of the weekend is ours to do as we wish. A paid weekend with a few hours for a dinner out of my time? I think so.  I dig this place. Beautiful views and the scenic drive through the mountains is spectacular in the fall. We take the scenic route on the way home. The road follows a river (for which I can't remember the name of right now.) We will be going in November. There is a little town on the way named Sisters, Oregon. It has a bunch of little shops and places to check out. Very quaint with it's wooden walkways. I'm really looking forward to spending a little more time there this year. I will be picking up some Oregon tea. Marionberry and huckleberry. Perfect addition to chilly fall and winter evenings.

Once the visit to Sunriver is done, I begin to look forward to my February visit. Next May? MAUI!!!
