So, this week has, and will be, extremely busy for Erin, so I'll take the blog. What to write about......I know! Erin and I went to Chelan this past weekend for a vacation. Yes, you read that right, a vacation. No kids. None. Tutu and Dale were so nice to watch them for us, and we got to spend two whole nights in a location without them. We love them to death, we really do, but sometimes, time away is just needed. We headed out around 2 PM and we were going to meet up with Lindsay and Jeff. She had found a great deal on Groupon for a Two-bedroom Suite at the Grandview on the south end of the lake. They went early and went to some wine tasting. We showed up about 5 PM and the place was amazing. Great views of the lake, and we were pleasantly surprised at our place. We went to sushi that night, and introduced Lindsay to something she feared. And guess what? She loved it! Safeway for some breakfast things, and then home for some card and board games.
The next morning I 'slept in' until 6:15. Cleaned and got things ready for breakfast. Everyone was up around 8 AM or so. Breakfast burritos, and then we got ready to go on a hike. We decided on somewhere close, and went up this road until about 3900 feet up. Incredible views everywhere. It was clear, but the wind was blowing and super cold. There wasn't much of a trail (at least we couldn't find one), but we had a lot of fun hiking to different rock formations, taking some great pictures, and just being outside on such a beautiful day. Loved it. Came back down, and instead of getting ready right away, we jumped in the hot tub. All of us slid down this cool little slide into the freezing cold pool too! I was very proud of myself; I went first, and I HATE the cold water. We ended up staying in the hot tub for over an hour. Went back to our place, and got ready for Lindsay's birthday dinner. She decided on this little place in town, and we stuffed ourselves silly there. We ended up dropping them off at the place, and headed over to Safeway to buy Lindsay her birthday cake (angel food cake, whipped cream and strawberries...yummy!). A few more card games, and then we were all out. Super long day, fun, but very tired.
The next day was breakfast, cleaning up, and a late check out around noon. Walked into town for a little bit, and then headed home. Stopped off in Cle Elum at a thrift store (can't pass those up) and we were home around 5 PM or so.
I had a lot of fun on the trip and it was great to just hang out with Erin and our friends. We got to know Jeff a little bit more, and I'm just glad that Lindsay is happy with someone. Vacations are very fun, and I look forward to taking one with just Erin soon (and never soon enough :)
