this weekend we celebrated my big 3-1. we had grand
plans to head up to portland for the weekend, stay @ the
super cool ace hotel and hang out with lin, lar & the gang-
until the pass got 10 inches of snow friday nite and...we had to stay home.
boo hoo!
but, my awesome hubbie managed to MORE than salvage
my birthday and the weekend---saturday afternoon our couple beers
at decoy turned into an all out bar tour of bend...pitchers at jc's, followed
by cucumber margaritas at astro, then cocktails at deep, then too many
lychee martinis at bo's and a crazy concoction called a "funky monkey"
yikes....there were chocolate and bananas involved. our last stop was
blacksmith for lobster corndogs and a beer i couldn't finish...i'm pretty
sure i drank more on my 31st bday eve than i did on my 21st????
needless to say,
sunday (real birthday) was considerably more mellow. we went to
brunch at stacatto- delicious!!! then tried to find a place to play some mini golf here
in town...ended up at sunriver- where the mini golf is INSIDE and involves blacklights?? no good.
we fled the mini golf and ended up at the high desert museum- which was great.
we'd never been- and saw all kinds of cool artwork, exhibits, artifacts and live animals!
my fave was the otter and the winter fox...both looked like mister we thought???
monday we went cross country skiing in the sunny (but windy)
weather and did another round of the downtown bars before throwing in the towel.
as my friend dude asked me tonite...
"dude. so...how does 31 feel?? wierd or???? are you feeling like you're more like a fine wine...?" ha. definitely.
