One of my favorite times of year has always been autumn.  The colors are so magnificent in many of our hometowns, and Central Oregon is no exception!  

So let me take you on a little tour and show you a few of my favorite places to visit.  Maybe you'll be convinced to take a trip of your own!

 Much of the city of Redmond is nestled in a valley and surrounded by nature's finest, including: the Ochoco Mountains, Smith Rock, Mt. Bachelor, and other members of the Cascade Mountain Range.  Our high desert area is truly a diverse one.

 Your trip to Redmond would not be complete without a stop by Dawson Station where you can enjoy lunch at the Mustard Seed Cafe, drop the family dog by Doggie Style to be groomed, check in with Raymond James for some financial advice, and when they give you the good news you can swing by Desert Sky Real Estate so I can help you pick out your new home!

 We can head to Winestyles of Redmond for a celebratory glass of wine and maybe pick up a book on decorating your new home from Shelf Life Books.  Just across the corner is the Hen's Tooth, an historic home recently converted to a home interiors and gift shop, and one of the most beautifully landscaped businesses in Redmond.    

Let's finish off our Central Oregon day at Drake Park in downtown Bend.  Now that the family pet has been beautified you can show him off to the many other dog lovers in the area while the kids run off some energy.

 Just a block away from Drake Park the options abound for shopping and dining.  A couple of local favorites are Merenda and Marz.  Or maybe the Deschutes Brewery better suits your tastes.  There are just too many choices to mention them all here!  Now lets head to Goodies for handmade chocolates or ice cream  for dessert. 

And, with all that fun under our belts, it's time to call it a day!  So what do you think?  Not only is Central Oregon a beautiful place to visit that offers variety enough to satisfy every taste, it's also an area of friendly people who would love to meet you. 

Plan your trip to check it out for yourself, and don't forgot to stop by Desert Sky Real Estate and say "Hi"!
