Today brought us to Bend, which appears to be mecca for the outdoorsy, adventurous types. Our thoughts were, “When in Rome …”, so we got outdoorsy too and rented a canoe.
About 30 minutes in, Ruby said she was “bored,” so we went back to get her a kid-sized paddle!
After getting some sufficient exercise with 2 hrs. of canoeing, Ed had another brewery on his list. We headed straight to Deschutes Brewery. Because he couldn’t decide, Ed ordered another sampler!
We walked through Downtown Bend (which is super adorable, by the way) and found a cool shop with Ruby’s favorite character, Totoro inside. The shop owner loved her so much she gave her a tiny Mei figurine! (Ruby dressed as Mei for Halloween this year).
We also stumbled upon a gorgeous park after dinner with a fantastic view. I think it’s safe to say we like Bend!
Tomorrow ends our nomadic streak – we’re headed to Portland, where we’ll be staying for three days. Can’t wait!
