Eric had an AGC (Association of General Contractors') Convention in Sunriver, Oregon this weekend so I tagged along. Sunriver is over the Cascades, outside of Bend. It's very dry and yes, sunny. Our fair little Oregon skin barely survived the weekend. Eric went to some seminars and tried to hang out with the boys' club and I played. We also got out and explored.
Eric convinced me to give kayaking a try. Now I'm hooked. Of course it was also the easiest route possible, floating down the Deshutes in a 2-person kayak. Eric paddled most of the way.
For picture purposes.
Very picturesque and peaceful. Our view on the water.
Doing what we do best on our balcony at the lodge. 
"Where's Eric?" Can you spot him? 
Paulina Peak Falls. There are a number of volcanos around the area and this waterfall was created from one of the eruptions. 
Our friend at the top - Paulina's peak. 
Dad you would be so proud. We had our lesson in geology. This is the obsedian field, created by swirling lava that cooled. I was having glacier groove flash backs. 
Paulina's Peak - Caldera Rim. The two lakes they think used to be 1 lake until the lava flowed b/t the two. The lakes are 250' deep. The obsedian field is to the right.
The three sisters (mountains) and broken top. Sisters, Oregon is just outside Bend as well. Cowboy themed no less.
It's a rough life. Massage in the morning. Pool in the afternoon. Hiking and exploring at night. 
Someday perhaps Eric will look natural for a picture. I'm still hoping.

Where's the red and white striped hat? (i.e. Where's Waldo?) Do I get bonus points for spotting the kid in the background too?
:D Great photos. This area looks like fun.
