Black Butte Ranch, My Happy Place

The (almost) week we spent at my grandparent's vacation home in Black Butte recently was nearly perfect as it always is.  Together Ryan and I relaxed, took walks, read, and hiked. 
 
 

 

We even got to see some college friends while we were there.

 

We made fires on the cooler days, cooked dinners, watched movies, woke up late to Bloody Mary brunches, had nightly happy hours at home, and appreciated the beauty that is central Oregon.  

 

 

We also raked the endless stack of pine needles in the front yard and Ryan spent some time on a new decoration for the house.

It's so hard to leave every time.
Hopefully we'll be back before summer's end.
