Oregon Outings: Eugene and Roseburg...

After bidding a sad farewell to our travel buddies who had to go home early, Lola and I headed south to Eugene where we billed some quality time with the Lowe cousins.

Lalia and Lola are two months apart.
It's a shame we don't live closer, because these girls adored each other.
Sweetest thing ever.

The newly-engaged Alysha and Jason happened to be in the neighborhood as well, so we got to see auntie's new bling.

After dining on Aunt Eileen's killer manicotti and fresh apple cobbler with vanilla bean Umpqua ice cream, we hopped back in the car and headed down to grandma and grandpa's house in Roseburg.

Lola got her first taste of an authentic Oregon blackberry.
Nothing quite like it..

And you can't eat blackberries without chasing them with fresh Oregon peaches, right?

There's no better way to digest massive amounts of fruit than to swing with grandpa on the porch in the backyard. 

Next up, our day at the river.
