Memorial Weekend Trip to Medford

This is Grandpa enjoying the weekend!!


Riley picking and grinnin'


We decided to take a weekend trip to Medford before we leave on our big trip back to Nebraska/Colorado and parts to still be determined by the price of Diesel!!






We picked up our grandson, Riley, from Eugene on Friday afternoon and headed down to Medford. The weather was great but was supposed to change over the weekend to cool and rainy. We were in luck, the weather held out for the better all weekend and we had a great time. This photo is of Riley enjoying a breakfast burrito. I think he liked it!!!






We went down to Ashland on Saturday to visit Travis and take a small tour of the city. It reminded me a lot of Estes Park Colorado, kinda a tourist town with a laid back atmosphere, with a little of Boulder CO mixed in with the rest.



In Colorado we call Boulder the Republic of Boulder due to their Individualist style of thinking and "Hippie" style of thinking!! Ashland was a great town to visit and we met some really nice people there, Ramona and Christina were great to meet after hearing about them for a long time from our son, Travis.



I noticed that Riley knows how to work the cute angle with Ramona and it worked, he kinda does that to us also. Of course we know that he is cute because he takes after his Grandpa!!!






We had a great weekend but then had to head back to Lebanon so Barb could finish out her workweek at preschool and have "graduation" for the kids.
