Weekend Get Away

My parents kept Malakai Saturday and Sunday while Eric and I had some time away to relax and refresh after a long season of weekend weddings. The night before we left, we had some family time in our recently painted basement. Saturday we went antiquing (found some fun props for photo sessions), went to a friend's 30th b-day party (Casino tables and all. Yes, I am the Black Jack champion!), saw The Blind Side, which by the way is a great movie, stayed at the Bear Creek Mountain Inn, dipped in an outdoor hot tub, and went hiking. All in one day! Then Sunday we went to a bridal show at the Marriott here in Lancaster. Yes, we went to bed at 8pm last night...same time Malakai did. We were pretty tired, but in a good way. I am thankful for Grandpa and Grandma who step in for us when we need to "refuel" for the next leg of the journey.
