Getting away: one thing that Chad and I are definitely not good at (it's been over 4 yrs since we had time away "senza" kids).You'd think with my parents condo set in the beautiful Huntsville/Eden area, only an hour away and FREE we would be much better at sneaking away. We are working on that and this weekend we gave it a good start!
Our good friends, Mary and Dorick Fletcher joined us for a quick, quiet weekend away. The boys played golf, the girls went on a hike. We sat at the pool, read (yes, I actually read a book), watched movies and ate too many Lindt truffles to count.
A few side notes to the weekend: we do NOT recommend Grey Cliff Lodge for dinner (canned fruit cocktail...really) and I ran into Sam Adams on the hiking trail. Whoa. That was an interesting blast from the past.
I guess we've been holding out for that dream vacation that seems to never happen and we are slowly figuring out we can do a small, quick getaway (ie: cheap and close to home) to refresh ourselves! Coincidentally, we even have another quick trip planned for this weekend...hmmm, I could get used to this! :)

Get-a-ways are the best! I'm glad you had so much fun. The only downer to adults trips is that they seem to go so fast. Why is that? :)
How fun! Good for you guys! If only we had access to a get-away like that!!!
Sorry for the second post - quicker than email - how sad...mon's sneak peak is up...www.embraceu.blogspot.com
and yes...we still love you guys! :)
Good for you! It is totally worth it even if it is quick and close.
How funny that we got away this weekend too! Isn't it the best? It helps you remember what to do when it's just the two of you! (So retirement won't be such a shock!)
Sma Adams from Kaysville? I think I might know him!
Chad golfing? Dude, have you fixed that wicked slice of yours? :) Let's meet up in St. George and play some golf one of these days my friend. Sorry I missed you guys last month. I tried to get away from my boss, but the dude likes to "chat". I tried giving him all kinds of non-verbal ques, but he didn't pick up on 'em :) Anywho, hope all is well w/ your fam. We appreciate your family's friendship.
Best,
