Beautiful Bend!

Daniel, Maleia, Josiah, Jon and Stephen and I left at 7:00 a.m. yesterday morning and the kids were awesome travelers, enjoying their sticker books and the 9:30 a.m. second breakfast stop at McDonalds.  

We made the eight-hour drive from Sunnyvale, California to Bend, Oregon yesterday and the weather cooperated perfectly--only rain, no snowing and not even any snow on the mountain roads so no need to put on the chains.  

We were 15 strong at the vacation home in Bend last night.  It is an amazing 6 bedroom house with plenty of space for all of us.  

This morning nine of us took a walk around a beautiful neighborhood in Bend.  It felt good to get 5,000 steps in today after not having time to walk much in Kansas City.
