Extra Long Weekend Without Kiddos

Jason and I get to go on a fun trip each summer with his company - no kids! This summer it was in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. What a beautiful place! If you have not been (and have no interest because it is in Idaho) think again. I want to go back and take the kids. The most amazing scenery with lakes, trees, mountains, incredible weather and a cute little town. One of the famous spots is its floating green - we got to go hit a few balls the first night and try to hit it - no luck! I always look forward to these trips because an early summer break from being a mom is nice, but we have friends we only see on these trips and that makes it all the more fun - catching up, eating desserts together and sharing crazy kid stories. It was a great weekend. But Saturday was best. Sleeping in, a long run/hike a late leisurely breakfast with friends and strolling through stores. Jason and I love our time away together, but it is fun to get home and see my girls, too!! After a little relaxation we are now ready to tackle 2 weeks in Florida was the kids. Sounds like that should be relaxing, but when we add Piper to the mix there will be no sitting and reading by the water. We will be running and chasing that girl. :) The Floating Green. A view from our hotel balcony. I had to add this photo of Lily and Piper playing outside - like mother like daughter - Piper has her diet coke cup (its empty!) while driving in her car.
