This last weekend we went to Crater Lake for our fourth anniversary. We needed to take a vacation as we really haven't had anything but short stints to Portland ever since we moved here. We initially were going to stay at a KOA campground in Klamath Falls, but our first night we didn't sleep well because it is situated in the middle of the city and there is traffic and sirens and all kinds of annoying things around. We were headed up to Crater Lake on Thursday anyways and so we decided to take a look around and see if we could find anything closer. As we were driving up we stopped at a camp and they had openings for tent camping. We were able to get a refund from the KOA for the rest of our stay and moved camp up to the new place called Crater Lake Resort. The campsite was beautiful and situated right next to a creek. There wasn't anyone else around so we had our pick of spots.


Since that day was our anniversary we decided to go up to Crater Lake and go to the Lodge for Dinner at the restaurant. Good food, just really expensive. We got our first look at Crater Lake that day and for anyone who hasn't seen it- it is beautiful!


For most of the rest of the trip we just hung out at camp or we drove up to Crater Lake to hang out. On Sunday Lonnie hiked up to the top of a mountain there at Crater Lake. I couldn't go because I had some mosquito bites on the back of my heel that got blistered when I wore shoes one day. I had to hang out at the lodge and read while he was hiking. We came home Monday and had to get everything put back together. It was a wonderful vacation in a beautiful place!
