Vacation time!
I just got back from an amazingly fun and relaxing and active vacation in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Ever heard of it? Me neither, until the lady at the timeshare company told me about it. It's mainly a big ski season town, but in the summer, all the ski runs turn into beautiful hiking trails. The river is warm enough to float down in your innertube. The morning is sunny and warm enough to ride your bike downtown and eat a HUGE cinnamon bun while sitting outside at Winona's restaurant. And everyone hangs out at the lake, floating on the water and watching the waterskiiers fly by. We golfed, tubed, ate, biked, hiked, floated, ate some more, walked, and explored. We did it all. It was one of the few vacations I've been on when I genuinely didn't want to come home. The difference between this vacation and others? It was just me and my husband. It was our 5 year anniversary celebration vacation, and it was just the two of us. Alone together. For the whole week. Away. Together. Yes, I'll admit it, I LOVED IT!!! We've done the family Disneyworld vacation, and it was great. We've visited family on the east coast, all four of us, and it couldn't have been more fun. But I really need to strongly reccomend the just you and your hubby vacation. It was like a honeymoon. I love hanging out and spending time with our kids. But just hanging out, one on one quality and quantity time with the man you loved enough to marry, the man you wanted to be the dad of the century to your kids, the man you want to grow old with... there's a lot to be said for that. So if it's at all possible in your future to take a timeout with your husband, just you and your husband, I say go for it. Incorporate that weekly date night into your schedule. Negotiate some babysitting swaps with your friends. You won't regret it. 2 comments from 2 users

That sounds like a lot of fun, especially the cinnamon-bun part.

Wow! Sounds like an amazing time! We're thinking about doing an overnight or two in Tahoe...just the two of us! Great pictures, too.
