On my last day in Bend, I took the boys out to Sparks Lake along the Cascades Lakes Highway. We walked along part of the lake, watched people toss huge rocks out onto the ice.
I’m back home. Dogs and cats are super happy that I’m home.
It was an amazing experience and I hope to see the boys again, but I’m not sure it will happen. Home is a good place to be.
A side note. The pass was totally clear and the drive home was beautiful. Couldn’t ask for a better day!
