Weekend Trip to Bend

Rather than taking a week-long vacation this February break, we split up our time and did a long weekend and a few day trips. Jack and Henry had the week of 2/20 off but Joseph had the following week off.

For the first weekend, we went down to Bend, Oregon (about a six hour drive) for a three-day weekend. We had gone once before, a little more than four years ago, when the focus was exploring and doing some hiking (here's the old blog post). This time it was almost all about skiing - Mount Bachelor is a half-hour away and has some great skiing.

Lots of photos from the trip!

In line for the 9:00 opening of Pine Martin lift
Snow covered trees on the lift
It was quite stormy up on the mountain part of the time we were there ...

Mary Jo and John went show-shoeing the last day
