Salem, OR - Premier RV Resort

Steve is ready to move in here. Not only do we have a daily paper delivered to our door, there is a free continental breakfast everyday, a movie in their theatre every night, a hot tub, free dvd's to watch at your trailer, excellent desk people who seem to know everything, AND they taught Steve how to light the gas fire at the pool. What a life!!

Our first touristy event was to take the Silver Falls Tour Route through some very pretty scenery. We stopped at the Silver Falls State Park to check out one of the falls.

Then we were on to the Oregon Garden, where we saw some beautiful flowers, and a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

On another day, we visited the State Capital building, where we listened to a great docent talk about the "citizen" legislature. NO ONE GETS PAID TO LEGISLATE! They all have real jobs and only have a session every 2 years, unless there are problems to be solved. What a great idea! We also saw an "objet de art" that was donated by a retired sewer worker. All the drains have screens that sift out stuff, and he decorated a fake manhole with all the "finds" of his career, including a retainer, and a lot of change.

Then Steve went on a tour of the Bush house and garden, no not those Bushs. Then we were on to a winery and a visit with the winery dog.

Steve checked out the Air and Space museum, which includes the Spruce Goose. Once he got back we went to the first ever Salem Beer and Cider Festival. There were some very tasty beers and ciders from local brewery's, but I have never seen so many babies at an event like this!!! There must have been 25 babies during the hours we were there.

The next day was a tour of 5 local winerys. What fun!
