Baker City - Home of the Smiths

This last weekend we had the opportunity to pay our respects for Hazel Smith. Julia's grandmother passed away last week so we packed our bags and went to Baker City, Oregon. It only seemed appropriate that Hazel was layed to rest in the cold winter just like so many that she lived through. It wasn't dreary at all, though. It was just a testament of what a tough woman she really was.


























We stayed in the Geiser Grand Hotel with the entire family. We really had quite a bit of fun in this remodeled hotel from the wild west. We played games and stayed indoors as it was so darn cold outside. Rem even got to eat dinner at her own table in the middle of our room. It got even better when she was able to watch Curious George at the same time. That won't be happening again any time soon. Thankfully when the time came to go home, we all made it safely inspite the icy roads and white out conditions in the canyons.
