Date Day!

Todd and I hadn't had a true date day in over a month so we were happy to spend some quality time together. We headed up to Skibowl to play some frisbee golf and enjoy the mountain views. We had played a few years ago up there before they changed the course. The new course is really fun and pretty challenging. It cost $7 per person for a chair lift ride to the top of the "ski run," and they have designed an 18 hole course which criss crosses the ski run as you walk from the top back to the lodge. It's pretty cool to walk around up there without snow everywhere. Though, we wished we had our hiking boots because we had to hike through a lot of brush that was kind of hard on our feet with just sandals on. The views from up there are just amazing and the disc would fly sooooo far with the light wind/up draft heading up the hill, plus every hole you throw down hill. After some nice exercise we headed to Ice Axe Grill, formerly Mt. Hood Brewery, to enjoy some great beer and food. We also checked out some new condos at the Grand Lodge in Government Camp. We were just curious about the project. We wish we could be serious buyers up there. They are planning on another development that will be like Whistler, BC with a village, gondolas, ice skating rink. So, after dreaming of owning a fun condo in Govy we headed back to pick up our darling child then headed into town for the Thursday night concert series at Edgefield. It was great to meet up with friends we haven't seen in awhile and enjoy the concert on the lawn with another fun pint of beer.

Looks like fun! Mt. Hood is so pretty in the summer, especially on such a nice, bright day. I like the photo of the disc golf basket in front of the mountain. Very artsy. Someday I'll update my blog, too. Nice work!
