Hanging with the Schupps

Scoop & Karen and were kind enough to visit our little Hermosa abode over Labor Day weekend. Indeed, their visit is the motivation to check out the many interesting/yummy restaurants listed in the posting below. Scoop is a part-time photographer extraordinaire and snapped quite a nice "couple" picture of Jeremy and I.

No In-n-Out Burger restaurants in Corvallis, OR so a visit there was a must!
