On the first day of our spring break trip to Eastern Oregon (March 26, 2014), we stopped in Sisters for lunch and checked out the cute little shops. We didn't stay long because the girls were driving me crazy touching everything they liked in each shop. On our way out of town we saw a couple of great metal pieces. This was our favorite, Cinderella's coach.
After Sisters, we headed to Prineville. Jess, one of our friends moved there from Eugene and has an adorable store she has opened called
The Vintage Cottage. We wanted to see her and check out the new place. She refinishes furniture and other things which she finds at garage sales and second hand shops. Her prices are very reasonable and she has such creativity! If you are ever out there you should stop by and tell her I sent you.
Prineville is a small town but very cute and has some interesting things to see. There is the Bowman Museum which is inside an old bank. The girls enjoyed learning about how people made a living in the 1800's. There is the Cada Dia Cheese Dairy Farm which you can take tours of but we weren't able to fit it in. There is also some nice architecture to look at. I really liked the courthouse.
On Thursday we went to Steins Pillar in the gental slopes of the Ochoco mountains. Steins Pillar is a 350-foot natural skyscraper composed of rhyolite ash produced by eruptions from the
Cascades that settled in an inland sea and compacted to stone.
