Sunriver

Our first trip to Sunriver was with my family, just months before we got married. We fell in love with it immediately. 2005 started our tradition of going down for the Pacific Crest weekend, which is full of races and family fun. The last two years we have been lucky to have Brian's family meet us there. The vacation was a bit longer than usual, as Brian had more time off work and I wasn't in school.

This year had its ups and downs with Bryce. He really enjoyed the tree-lined paths, biking, the stables, the parks, the pool, everything Sunriver has to offer. However, his sleep schedule was really messed up. He was also fighting an illness, which made things even more difficult. I think we learned that it's hard to share a house with a group of people when you've got a toddler.

Brian ran the half-marathon, finishing with a 1:27:25. That's 2nd in his age group and 15th out of 1400 runners. Wow! Brian's dad, John, ran the half too. Super impressive. I ran the 5k with Bryce in the stroller. We won't talk about my time (slow-I am NOT a runner). I think it may be the last year pushing Bryce, man he's getting heavy. My arms and upper back were so sore the next morning!

Overall, we had a lot of fun. We're thinking about going back in September to celebrate our anniversary with our little man. If you've never been to Sunriver, you should go :) Here are a few shots from our trip:



We sure missed Grandma Jeanne. But, we understand how busy she is with school (I do better than anyone!) We are so proud of her and look forward to her visiting us soon.
