After a fun week of family adventures, we packed up our trusty Civic and headed back home to Portland. We stayed again in Ashland, this time at the fancy-ish Ashland Springs Hotel, right on Main Street, where we had a delicious pre-NYE dinner at the Lark restaurant.
The children were very excited in the morning to make coffee for me, using the hotel room's little machine. It was supposed to be a big surprise, served to me in bed. It was wretched, of course, but the effort and thoughtfulness were much appreciated! And then Jasper and I headed out into the cold, icy, foggy morning for a trail run. The town was socked in, but once we got high enough on the surrounding hills it was beautiful blue sky.
And then we drove the final leg home, with a brief stop in Cottage Grove to stretch our legs and eat lunch. It was good to be in our home again - I unpacked and started laundry while Steve got some groceries and the kids took Jasper over to romp a bit with his brother. On to 2019!
