The final stop of our road trip was Bend. Rather than stay in a hotel, we opted for a vacation rental so we could cook and have an outdoor fenced space for Daisy. We rented a cute little cottage for three nights. The one-room house was in a great location, which made it really easy to bike to the Deschutes River, restaurants, Old Town, etc.
Inside the home was a mix of vintage furnishings and reclaimed building materials. Jonah's portable crib fit in one of the closets, so we were able to give him a dark and private "room" for naps and bedtime.
Every morning, we would take Jesse up the mountain so he could get several hours of riding in. And then we would all bike into town for lunch.
Beer at 10 Barrel.
We are still researching bike seat options for Jonah, but in the meantime, using the Ergo carrier works just fine.
Jonah has his own bike helmet which he gets pretty excited about wearing.
While Jonah slept, we would hang out on the patio. There was a fire pit, so we enjoyed another round of smores. We made it to the Deschutes Brewery which is now my favorite pub in Oregon. Best "House Salad" ever....candied malts = yum!
Jonah melted hearts all over Bend for his sweet disposition, independent exploration, and wide smiles to all.
We had a lovely time and now that we have a bit of a Bend Crush,
I'm sure it won't be long before we return.
Homeward bound with the family.
See Jonah sleeping in the mirror?
It is always nice that even after such amazing adventures, home is where we most want to be.
