Weekend trip

Well, Ben finally took a Saturday off so he could run in the Pear Blossom Run in Medford. This is the 34th year and his first. We headed down on Friday night (a 2 1/2 hr drive), we even had to wear our sunglasses it was that bright once we were away from Eugene. He ran 5th out of 62 in his age group and 98 out of 1580. Pretty good.

We left Medford about 11 so the clouds were still across the hills. I thought they looked pretty neat so I took a couple pictures. Of course they looked a lot neater when I first thought about taking the pictures.
It was a nice quiet weekend. I was a little disappointed because the quilt shop we have gone to since Ethan was little and maybe before closed. they had moved a few years ago from a sort of cramped shop where they had to share the parking lot with a strip mall to a place all their own with plenty of parking. Could be the new overhead got to be to much but I really loved the shop and the ladies were always really nice. Then Ben was going to stop at an old CD/Record shop but the were closed for the Pear Blossom Festival that was going on all weekend. It was still a nice relaxing weekend.
