1) I can’t remember the last time I spent a weekend *not* doing anything work related. Until this past weekend. David and I both set aside all work related activities and spent the weekend doing fun things as a family. Saturday we spent the afternoon at the Butterfly Pavillion in Elkton. If you’ve never been there, it’s worth a trip. It’s not huge, but it’s a pretty neat place.
2) On Sunday we drove out past Dorena, up into the woods, and took a couple of short hikes to Moon Falls and Spirit Falls. Again, if you haven’t been there, it’s worth the drive. It took us somewhere around an hour to get to Moon Falls, and we hit Spirit Falls on our way back down. The hikes are pretty short, and the Moon Falls hike is quite easy. Spirit Falls is a little tougher on the way back because you’re climbing back up a fairly steep grade in a couple of spots, but it’s still not bad since most of the trail is pretty flat.
3) We are looking for more cool places to go (preferably within about an hour from Cottage Grove), so if you have any suggestions, please post them in the comments!
