Peter and I were lucky enough to get away for a couple of days about 1 1/2 weeks ago. His parents came up from WA and were gracious enough to take care of Benjamin for us while we headed to Bend. Peter had planned for us to stay at a nice little condo and get a little rest & relaxation time together before baby boy #2 comes in February!
Life has just been so full and busy so it was SO NICE to just relax. We stayed up later than we normally do, slept in, drank coffee in bed while we watched tv and vegged in the morning. We drank latte's while we watched the skiingt Mt. Bachelor, browsed a few stores (didn't buy a thing!), walked around downtown Bend at night enjoying all the Christmas decorations, caroling, free red velvet cupcakes....it was soooo relaxing. I don't think I'd realized how much I just really needed a bit of time to rest.
Of course I couldn't WAIT to get back to Benjamin and missed him like crazy. He did really well for his Poppy & GongGong. He didn't cry when he put them down for the night, was great on their hike at Silver Falls, and showed them his incrediby cute yet ornery stubborn side. I was really glad he did so well. When we got home he was a bit more clingy than usual but that's to be expected.
Here's a couple pictures of how beautiful and sunny Bend was, as well as a couple of self-timer couple shots :-) We had a fabulous time, thanks again sweetheart for planning such a fun getaway and thanks again Poppy & GongGong for taking care of our precious little boy.
