Mini-Moon!: Tu Tu' Tun Lodge, Bandon Dunes, Rogue River

August 25, 2012

On Wednesday, we diverted off I-5 and headed to the beautiful Oregon Coast. Our destination was the luxuriously-rustic Tu Tu' Tun Lodge on the Rogue River (just north of the Oregon-California border). 

We booked the "Hawkins Riffle" room, which featured a king bed, fireplace, and soaker tub on the deck overlooking the Rogue River. Deee-luxe!











We signed up for the "meal plan", which was kicked off at 6:45 PM with a school bell signaling hors d'oeuvres. This was followed by a 3-course set dinner served family-style.


Bandon Dunes

On Thursday, we headed up to the infamous "links-style" golf course to play Bandon Dunes, a key item on most bucket lists for golfers. "Windy" is an understatement at this place!













A sweet token for us from the Bandon Dunes staff;


Rogue River Fishing

On Friday morning,  Will and I had an early morning wake-up to meet up with Ross Bell to go fishing for Chinook salmon on the Rogue River.







Catch of the day: 15-pounder!





A screen shot from Ross' website of Will's catch:
We took the fish to get cleaned, filleted and vacuum-packed to take home...yum!!

We loved the days we spent in the area and fell in love with Tu Tu' Tun Lodge. After this experience, all I can think of is "I want to go to there".
