Our trip to NE Oregon. This was fun. I have not been here before. It was so much fun. We started by heading to Pendleton, which I really haven't been to much of besides when I had jury duty awhile back. So we stopped at an outrageously priced bead store called Blue Hawk beads, then we checked out a few bookstores. After that we pretty much drove straight through to the small town of Joseph (just north of Lake Wallowa) It was really cute. We had some lunch at a steakhouse called Outlaw Restaurant. We also checked out all the little gift shops-which were pretty cool-got an amazing candle! (woodwick candles) After that we went to check in at our lodge, Flying Arrow resort (just a few miles outside Joseph, on the opposite end of the lake) It was great there. It sits right on the creek. We totally want to come back in the summer when there is alot more to do: horseback riding, fishing, hiking, and the tramway! Then we hung out in our cabin and watched Border Wars (National Geographic show) It was pretty cool. Next morning we went to the United Methodist Church-blame Shane. It pretty much reminded me of my grandparent's Baptist church. We tried skipping through Joseph for lunch and eating in Enterprise...bad idea. The next three towns are completely deserted on a Sunday. Guess they all do the after-church potluck thing. So we had pizza at a very thrown-together looking place. Ha. Then we just took the slow way home, enjoying the scenery, and another awesome bead store in Walla Walla. I just can never bring myself to pay more than $15 or $20 at the most per strand. I guess it depends what it is, but seriously $219 per strand for quartz!!! Back to Hermiston. The end.
