August 25th- No Diapers!

Entrusting our sweet friends to take care of our little E, B and I escaped for a fabulous 3-day romantic getaway to Grand Geneva & the TimberRidge Resort. No diaper changes, no morning wake-up call, no fussies, no cleaning up the sticky hands and face, no on-call overnight duty, no toys!!!!!! Just the two of us, alone for more than a couple of hours, for the first time in 2 years (being preggo with E already counted as family time)! We determined, even before we had kids, that we would make 'Us' a priority and make sure that we took time for just the two of us. I bawled after we dropped E off, one of the hardest things I've done and hoped he would be an angel, and insisted upon driving just so I had to concentrate on something else. It took the ENTIRE day for me to let my guard down, and only after we had wined & dined, floated down the heated lazy river several times, plummeted down water and tube slides, soaked in the hot tubs, and enjoyed the evening only having to think of ourselves.

It's been years since I've been to Grand Geneva, and I was thrilled to be able to take B there.

Capturing the moment after we had wined & dined - a very peaceful evening on Geneva Inn's boat slip.
(This pic reminds me so much of one that we took on Newport Beach a few years back. Glad to have it since most of our Cali pics were lost.)

I had an itinerary for our getaway- horseback riding, kayaking, Geneva cruise, jet-skiing.

We decided to throw out the list- ha.

The horse rides sounded fantastic, however, when we saw other guests trotting at an E walking pace, we decided to just enjoy the stable's petting zoo.


Let's spy. Here is what E and his little buddy, 'Bubs', were up to while Mommy & Daddy were away!:

Stroller ride!

I think it is so funny how Bubs is looking around as if to say, "Hey, E, I can't see anything!".

We were told that E was cuddly, but I wasn't expecting this.

Ahh, how cute!!
I was very comforted by the fact that he was at a 'sleep-over' with his buddy- how perfect for them to spend lots of time playing together. It was ideal that these two are essentially the same age!

It's been a couple weeks since we've seen them- wonder what the boys will think...
