We stayed at a cute inn that was right on the shores of Gig Harbor, WA, which is a cute town with shopping and restaurants along the water. It is a sleepy town, and we enjoyed walking through the parks, marinas, and touristy shops. We had a lovely dinner out last night, and just couldn't believe how wonderful it was to just be away from it all, with no agenda. And we are reminded by how much we love being with each other, too. :) It was so refreshing to us, and we couldn't get over how much we enjoyed every second of it.
Other highlights:
- Sleeping for 10.5 hours last night! Wonderful! We woke up at 9:15... and that never happens at home!
- a morning kayak ride in the harbor this am, complete with harbor seals
- sitting on the giant deck of the Inn, reading books under a blanket, enjoying hot tea
- stopping at Barnes and Noble along the way, spending a gift certificate by browsing for over an hour (how decadent!)
- seeing an 11:30 matinee movie today (when was the last time we did that??) ( we saw Up, and loved it)
- a lunch of yummy soup/sandwiches at our favorite restaurant, Panera Bread
A million thanks goes to Aunt Jenene and Uncle Robbie who offered to watch the kids for us. They have both been so extremely generous in babysitting for us, and we couldn't be more grateful.
We DID miss the kids, of course. We came home and played with them for a few hours. Greg took Drew for a bit, and I did watercolor paints with Hails (she loved it!).
Ahhh... we will have to remember our weekend getaway once Baby G arrives!
