On Feb 24th, we headed down to Bend, OR for a little mid-winter getaway. We stayed at a friend's corporate house at the Pronghorn Community (Fazio/Nicklaus courses) which was totally amazing. Allen and Rosy joined us from Walla Walla, and Dave, Lily and Alex came down from Portland too!

We visited the High Desert Museum - it's really neat, a little indoors, a little outdoors....
Mission of the High Desert Museum:
Through exhibits, wildlife, and living history, the High Desert Museum creates learning experiences to help audiences discover their connection to the past, their role in the present, and their responsibility to the future.
