A FUN Weekend!

We drove up to Grants Pass and rode the riverboat up to Hellgate Canyon.

This is the OK Corral. A beautiful restaurant with all outdoor seating.















There we had a huge brunch. I told the waitress I just wanted a big plate of strawberries and grapes. She was more than happy to bring it to me. Everyone else was munching "down home cooking" and I just packed away a platter of grapes and strawberries. There was champagne and orange juice so I had a couple of mimosas, too. It was heavenly.
Yay!

This is the place card that was at my seat.
















My giant platter of fruit. There was more I ate before the photo was taken















I was told there would be a meal, but nothing vegan to eat so I brought food with me. I was very pleasantly surprised to get treated so very well by the wait staff. I wasn't going to say anything about being vegan, I just asked for the fruit but the man said it to the waitress. She was nice enough to let me know there was a tofu, broccoli, rice bowl but told her I was VERY happy with the fruit. She came back later to ask me if I wanted some eggs with no cheese but I stuck with the fruit.

It was a very nice brunch, great company and I had a lovely time eating grapes with a fork! I took some strawberries with me since I had my cooler and we ate them later on the ride home.

After the very wet ride back to GP on the jet boat, we went to Griffin Park and played in the river.














I stacked some rocks.

And we saw the very same boat that we rode earlier that day. The name of the boat was the Blue Heron.















I had a really nice time. I grew up in GP but I had never been on the riverboat tour before so I'm really glad I had an opportunity to go.
