Were heading to our 2nd home Bend for the weekend! This time we plan to stay in the downtown area and enjoy walking around. We did not know it at the time, but the Harvest Festival is going on just up the block from us. We book our room for two nights at the Oxford Hotel. The hotel is nice with fairly large rooms but it is expensive.
Our Friday night starts with dinner at Pizza Mondo and listening to street musicians. In the Morning, We have breakfast at Mothers cafe and enjoy the festival. The festival includes a kids play area, lots of music, craft vendors and of course food. a few of the downtown streets are closed for it.
After the festival, The Little Dude stays with Gramie and Mama and Papa pilot get to go on an off road adventure around 3 creeks butte and to sushi dinner at 5 fusion.
The next day is fun on Gramies farm and a stay at the lake creek lodge. It is out of season for the Lodge located in Camp Sherman, so it is very quite and they aren’t serving breakfast in the mornings. The salmon are in full swing and we take the little dude to see the fish hatchery. We have dinner at near by Black Butte Ranch before calling it a night. We fly home the next morning to Auburn.
