Day 8

We just completed our first week on the road, and we crossed our first border today. The Sipher Family and their RV are officially in Oregon!

Early in the morning, the boys did another round of fishing. Because of their lack of bait, they used pretty yellow flowers. As you probably already figured out, they caught nothing. Later that morning, we had brunch at the Fish Hook Bar & Restaurant. Then, we were on the road again. Our final destination was Crater Lake, our second national park. According to Joe, we had our best diner tonight: chicken fajitas cooked over the open grill with home made guacamole, sautéed onions and peppers and margaritas for the adults. After dinner, the whole family played a rousing round of Monopoly inside as it was cold and rainy at Crater Lake. The game was quite interesting. At one point, Joe was a “poor-man” and had only $5 of cash on hand. Later on, he had around ten $500s. Before that, Dan was “mister-rich” who had a total of $3,500. He went out, though, when Joe made him pay $1,500 after landing on Park Place (the second best property). Joe ended up winning --his final cash holdings were too high to count--not really we were just too lazy and had to go to bed. Good night!
