Crater Lake NP



Dave and I have been trying to sneak in a summer get away while the kids are at camp during the summer, this was our second year and it has been a great little recharge with the kids home full time. 

Dave secured us a room at Crater Lake Lodge in Crater Lake National Park. We arrived about one week before the park technically opened, but we had lots to do and minimal crowds. We hiked, walked, talked, read, ate, drank, played and played Scrabble. I joke that it was an administrative vacation, meaning it gave us a chance to connect, but also to work on an endless to-do list of a busy life with little kids and Dave's busy schedule. It's amazing how much we can accomplish when we eliminate our Google Calendar commitments. 

The park was beautiful, it surrounded the caldera with the deepest blue water, it was calm and quiet and so darn peaceful. Good choice, Dave! 

Waterfall hike/picnic. 

Bit of snow on the trails. 

Favorite happy hour spot.

Beautiful Oregon highway. 

Not a bad set up.
