Hood River, Oregon

Another fabulous weekend with my wonderful girlfriends has come and gone. It is hard to believe that we have been getting together every year for 6 years now. This year we all met up in Hood River, OR where we found a great little house right in town. It was the perfect size for those of us that made it this year. It was clean, well stocked, and easy to find. The owners were great to work with and the cost was amazingly reasonable. We will definitely keep this in mind if we ever head back to Hood River.

One thing I have discovered is it takes WAY more time to get groceries in a store you have never been in than in a store you are comfortable and familiar with. It took me over an hour to get all the groceries for the weekend and I was by myself. Totally insane. Next time I will definitely contemplate getting the groceries at home and taking them with me.

Friday night everyone arrived. We had some great appetizers and snacks, drinks and visited. After heading to bed and getting a great night sleep we were ready for the day Saturday morning. We had cinnamon marble bread french toast with butter syrup, bacon and scrambled eggs. It was all delicious. We all got ready and headed out. We were blessed to have Kathy's little one Rebecca with us. It was so much fun. She is such a good baby.

Saturday we explored downtown, visited the Harvest Festival which included dodging in and out of the rain, had lunch in a cafe and snapped lots of pics of each other as we had a blast. What better fun could there be than hanging out with girl friends?

Saturday night we were back at the house for a fabulous dinner that had been cooking all day in the slow cooker and games and more visiting. Simply it was an amazing weekend and I can't wait until next year at Long Beach/Ocean Shores.
