Farewell, Orange County!

 So long, Orange County!     We are off to Bend, Oregon! Cecilia has accepted her first job out here in Central Oregon so we are officially gone!  So What's in Bend?     First and foremost: Blockbuster! (not kidding)     Odd observations aside, there are hikes, skiing, breweries, shopping, parks, golf, river walks, water sports, fishing, and so much more that's yet to be discovered. We are going to be spending the first few months getting situated and finding local gems so that when  you, our loving friends and family, come to visit us, we will be knowledgeable hosts! This blog will also serve as a collection of our findings and adventures, too!     We look forward to our adventure and sharing it with you all!
