Weekend recap

The anniversary weekend getaway was wonderful!!!

We got up to the condo about 8:00 pm on Thursday night. We decided to get settled in and then go out and see about finding some dinner. Well, being a small mountain town there weren't a lot of places open passed 8:00....so we ate Taco Bell.

We went back to the condo and watched a movie -- Mr. Man picked it out and it was a thriller. Not a bad movie but extremely predicable.

During the movie Mr. Man realizes he doesn't have his phone -- we searched and searched and he decided he needed to check back at Taco Bell. Sure enough it was in the parking lot and had been run over -- crushed and destroyed. :-(

We slept in on Friday but then needed to head to Loveland (the nearest city to where we were) to find a phone store to replace Mr. Man's crushed phone. PLUS, where else should you go on your anniversary but LOVEland?? Perfect! We ate lunch in Loveland and then headed to the phone store. We also bumped into my sister-in-law who lives in Loveland. We visited with her for a few minutes and then we headed back to the mountains. We walked around main street and enjoyed some of the shops. (Guess who forgot to bring a camera...whoops)

Since we ate a late lunch we decided to just pop some popcorn Friday night as our dinner (the things I can get away with when there are no kids around) and watch movies. It was so relaxing.

Saturday we watched a love and marriage DVD until about noon and then we went into the mountains to do some hiking. They have trails that you can snowshoe on, but we decided to just hike the easier ones in our boots. It was a beautiful day and we hiked to some waterfalls that were completely frozen over. It was gorgeous!

Saturday night we went out to eat and then back to the condo to finish watching the love and marriage DVD. We tried to go to bed early because we had to get up early to head back into town Sunday.

Sunday morning we were on the road early. We stopped and ate breakfast then took the scenic route home. We went to church with Mr. Man's parents and afterward we took them to lunch (well we wanted to take them to lunch but they ended up paying.... my mother-in-law can be very sneaky...) After lunch, we surprised them by arranging for some of the family to meet us a park and we did a 60 dove release in honor of their 60th wedding anniversary. It was gorgeous!

Now it is back to reality. Boo hoo.
