A Weekend Away

We did it! We went away from Jackson for the first time...and it was for not one but TWO whole nights! My mom is visiting from Florida for a couple of weeks so she watched Jackson for us and it was an incredible weekend getaway.
This was our 3rd annual trip to The Abendblume bed & breakfast in Leavenworth, WA. It's our tradition to celebrate Valentine's Day a week early there in the cozy, snow-covered Bavarian village. And celebrate we did in true Bavarian fashion (complete with lederhosen-clad German man).
This was an especially momentous occasion since it was my first 2 nights of uninterrupted sleep since Jackson was born. The only thing that woke me each night was the overly eager space heater when it made me too hot. With a couple of frustrated swats at the machine, I was back to dreamland. It was heavenly. And of course waking up to a gourmet breakfast each morning was icing on the cake.
Of course, it wasn't just the sleep that made the weekend so great. The bed & breakfast was amazing as always, the snow was glorious, and the company was unsurpassed. I fall more in love with Dan each day and with each new adventure.

We enjoyed a beautiful (and slightly strenuous - must work out!) snow shoe hike at Steven's Pass, a random igloo tour, and lots of soaking time in the hot tub out under the stars.
It was so refreshing to get away from the busy day-to-day demands of life and simply enjoy time together as a couple.
