Well Sunriver delivered everything we were looking for. We stayed in Rouge 16 offered by ReMax. I recommend it for up to 2 couples and 2 children. Bikes were available and home offered a nice Hot tub to relax our weary bones after a day of site seeing, hiking and bike riding. Also has wireless connection so bring your laptop to download all those pictures.

We spent one day traveling to Crater Lake which is about 70 miles south of Sunriver. Nice roads and beautiful scenery. We picked up a bicylist on our way up to the lake. She had taken a wrong turn and lost her party. Needless to say, we saved her some grief and we did our good samaritan duty for the day.

We also hiked Bendham falls which is near Lava Lands. Great views of the Deshuttes river along the way so need you camera. A couple miles ahead, you get a good look at how the Deshuttes has carved it's way through the Lava flows.

We also had to check out the mall in Bend to see if it had anything they don't have anywhere else. The answer is yes.. No crowds. Maybe it was because school was back in session but we had the place to ourselves. Did not buy much but we wasted some time there.

All in all, It was great to be with my daughters and share this time together. Pictures coming soon so check back!

McKinney Girls Getaway to Sunriver, OR

I have just nine more work days before my summer vacation with my daughters. We are headed to Sunriver Oregon for a short stint of bicycle riding, hot-tubing and who knows, maybe some white water rafting. I am so looking forward to this vacation. Just getting away for awhile can sure change your outlook on life. That is just what I need.
