An interesting thought

With the recent changes in our lives it's interesting to think that for the first time we've actually come to the realization that we could move anywhere.  There is truly nothing holding us to a place where I've lived all my life.  Let me catch myself in that last sentence.  We have family close, great friends and a wonderful school for our kids, outside of those very wonderful items there is nothing holding us there.

Have you ever considered such a move?  Spin the globe, drop a finger in a given point and say, interesting?  I'm in no way stating that is our plan, set in stone but it's an interesting thought that I've never really allowed myself before.  It places within me thoughts of, what if?  Allows for the dreams of a new adventure and a next chapter and encourages us to think outside of the box yet again.

Tonight, we find ourselves in Bend, Oregon.  Spring break is coming to a close.  Time with family has been so fulfilling.  Despite the hand sanitizer, constant washing of hands and intervenes of vitamin C, I'm now enjoying all the symptoms of the kids.  With that being said, there is only one explanation as to why I came down with the cold, I didn't sample enough of Oregon's phenomenal craft beer.  Fortunately, I have that nice little parting gift in the back of the car.

This evening, we enjoyed one of the forefathers of craft beer in Oregon, Deschutes Brewery.  The recent expansion has more than doubled the capacity of the Downtown Public House, which was much needed. Deschutes has so many recognizable names in Black Butte Porter, Mirror Pond Pale Ale, Obsidian Stout, Red Chair NWPA, JubelAle, Abyss, the list could continue.  And so, we toasted the end of a great spring break.

Here's to enjoyment on your spring break vacation and all that it has to offer you.

Cheers
