Gretchen and Shaun's Visit

Things started out a little rough due to a plane delay and a missed connection in LA.......but things turned out just great and Gretchen and Shaun got to spend a little more time in Portland before visiting us in Talent. We had a great time seeing and doing all sorts of fun things together.
Here's pics of lunch, at one of our favorite coffeehouses, and shopping day in Jacksonville. Gretchen and I went shopping, Per stayed home, and Shaun took lots of pictures. In fact, that's what Shaun did alot of........
Here we are having lunch again......at the Lodge at Crater Lake.....yum-yum !!!
I'm pretty sure Shaun enjoyed taking pictures at Crater Lake, last count was about 200, I think.
It was a cool day, about 55-60 degrees, with snow still on some of the slopes. The beauty all around was incredible.
Photo-Op..........
Here's the happy couple now.......don't lean back, it's straight down.
See all the snow.......below? More pictures !!!
Yes, the water is really that blue........it's the bluest water in the world.
This is a picture of the Wellsprings Spa sign where we spent a relaxing evening, doing a little swimming and chatting in the natural hot springs pool and hot tub.........we really didn't think it was appropriate to take pictures of the actual pool and hot tub that evening, due to the fact that after 7:45 clothing is optional. NO ! NO! we kept our bathing suits on.....for sure.....but there were many who didn't.
Had to take Gretchen and Shaun to "Inti's" our favorite mexican restaurant. They have great food and the best Sangria too........something I hadn't had since the 70's.
Saw several Green Shows, of course, while G&S were here. This was our volunteer night at the "Info Table".....can you see G&S in the crowd........Shaun, oh yes taking pictures !!
This night was a group from Eugene, Oregon playing the Taiko Drums. Very cool !! Gretchen and Shaun enjoyed Henry the IV at the Shakespeare Festival and not pictured but fun was had by all.....was a visit to Harry & David's, a shopping day in Ashland, breakfast at the Talent Cafe, bulk shopping at Winnco, and of course a BananaGrams tourney!!
