A Visit to Ashland, Oregon

Sunday April 1st

We all got up early and set out to climb Mt. Shasta – APRIL FOOL!!

We all got up late and I think they went out to breakfast at Shari’s – Grandma and Grandpa didn’t make it to breakfast because they weren’t ready so we were going to meet them in Ashland, about 10 miles SW of Medford. We were supposed to meet at Lithia Park, which we found easily enough, but missed them on the first pass. We split into two groups to make everyone happy, and then went exploring.

Ashland is the location of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival held during the summer since 1937. We visited one of the theaters that are used for the festival and there are several outdoor venues as well. We wandered around the shops in downtown Ashland and walked through part of Lithia Park, which extends over 90+ acres.

About 3:30 we headed back to Catie’s, where Ryan was fixing dinner for the whole gang. Ryan is Catie’s roommate and likes to cook and is pretty good at it. He fixed an enchilada dish that was very good and then topped it off with a delicious chocolate cake – all gluten free, at Catie’s request.

After dinner Terye left with Gabrielle and Jeff to return to Paradise, CA. She will spend the night at her son’s house and then meet with her boss to travel to San Francisco for a convention.
