Putting and Pool Time
Sometimes you want a vacation that is packed with lots of physical activity and challenges, and other times you're just looking for doing not much more than sitting on a beach or by a pool and watching the world go by. Our recent 10-day trip to Eagle Crest Resort in Central Oregon provided both. Last week I wrote about some hiking we did in the area, providing both lovely views and a good workout.

A Great Place to Stay and Play
My husband and I have just returned from a 10-day vacation in Central Oregon. We stayed at Eagle Crest Resort, located just outside of Redmond and about 20 minutes from Bend. This part of the state is considered high desert, with less than 12 inches of precipitation annually and 300 days of sunshine. Don't let the term "desert" lead you to believe it's all sand and cactus, though. In fact, there are no cacti, but mixed forests of pine and juniper (some very old and fascinatingly gnarly) cover large areas, interspersed with sage and irrigated crop and grazing land.
Topgolf
Last weekend, for a friend's birthday, a group of us went to Topgolf in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. We have wanted to go for a while now, so it was the perfect excuse. Since it was a bit of a drive from our home base in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, my friend’s parents got us a party bus so we didn’t have to worry about driving or figuring out the carpool situation!
