spring break at the tree-sort

I needed to get to Palo Alto during the kids spring break week to finish a year long class I'd been taking with HP and Stanford.  We decided to turn it into a family road trip, with the first weekend stop at the Tree-sort in Cave Junction in southern Oregon.

Just exploring the grounds was great fun for us- they have a dozen different tree houses for sleeping in, with ropes and swings and walkways hanging in between all the trees.

They also have a wonderful zip-line course in the woods- all four of us were up >70 feet, harnessed up and zipping from tree to tree and then eventually back to the ground.  Owen and Ben both loved it and had no fear.

Our lodgings for a few nights was our very own treehouse, complete with a bunk bed and a full bed, a table, sink, electricity, mini-fridge and a toilet.  Quite swanky accommodations considering we were up 30 feet in a tree!  We made good use of the outdoor camping kitchen, relaxing and grilling our meals, before retreating to our nest each night.
