A little trip

It was time for me to take weekend trip.  We decided to head south to try and avoid the rain.  It was still raining so we decided to explore a few antique stores.  Look at this cool bench, perfect for a fox.
 The antique store had a couple of animals too.  This bear didn't have a name (I know how tough that can be) but his tag said Concrete Bear.  He was pretty nice and he let me hang out with him while my roommates wandered around the store.
It was still raining.  I convinced my roommates to take me for some hot chocolate at Starbucks.  Here I am posing for a picture with the Univ of Oregon duck (ok, he is in the picture behind me).  I think they should change the mascot to a fox.  But I guess a duck makes sense too since it rains so much here. 
More rain.  Sigh, off to a winery.  This winery was great, they gave a little fox like me a big people sized glass of wine.  I drank it all by myself (aren't you proud?)
I better take a walk and explore.
Next day.  No rain for a while.  We took a long hike through the park.  Then we decided to visit an estate winery.  They had a tour. This room is where they store all the wine, it is like a cave.
The winery was on a a hill (did I mention there was no rain today).  I was able to enjoy a few scenery shots of me and the countryside.
To celebrate the lack of rain today and my good behavior on the tour my roommates decided to treat me to a fox sized glass of wine.  Much smaller than a human sized glass.  After all of that wine, touring, and walking I decided to take a "nap"
I was woken up when it was time to head back home.  I begged my roommates for one proper picture of me at the winery.  
Overall not a bad weekend away. I always could use more hiking but I still got lots of exploring and adventuring done.

    2. @Sandy. Thanks, I am lucky that I get to do lots of traveling.
      @Ajdin. Ooh that would be great. I could be on brochures, television, and the internet. My roommate is rolling his eyes....apparently he thinks my ego is big enough. Hmmph, what does he know?

    3. Oh, I like the idea of you being a tour mascot! You do a lot of traveling and you could even be a tour guide. Pay no attention to human-eye-rolling... they are twitchy that way!
