man date




jason had hoped for a man date night with brian, but the presence of houseguest christopher necessitated the purchase of a third controller. as you can tell, three was not a crowd.

sun mountain lodge

brian's company is having it's fall meetings at sun mountain lodge in winthrop, wa. it's about 220 miles northeast of where we live. meetings are monday night through thursday, so we packed up and left friday morning to take advantage of the reduced rates they offered for employees who want to get there early.

below are three pictures from the deck of our room. we got a suite in the gardener building.



one thing that struck us as funny was the brochure they passed out saying that they do not condone hunting in any way. they have tons (see slideshow below) of dead animal stuff all over the place. they bought it a few years back from a private hunter, but they do not condone what he did.




we woke up saturday morning and peeked out the curtains and a deer was looking at us right outside our bedroom window. unfortunately, by the time i found the camera, he was just showing me his rear end. i stepped outside to see where he went, and he was munching on the tree at the bottom of the little hill. i looked to my left, and i saw that we had other friends as well.



we spent the rest of the day doing hiking, brian biked, we went to town and went out for food, and coming back to relax. the fall colors are beautiful here, we didn't take the camera on our hike this time because we wanted to just enjoy, but we will next time.
