I don't even know where to begin. I was able to get away this past weekend with a big group of girlfriends! The Solano's were gracious enough to open their Condo's & host our fabulous weekend. I was able to leave Friday morning & returned home on Sunday evening. It was a wonderful escape & the company could not have been any better (except if everyone could have made it). I am so thankful that John was so great about letting me go. I left him with all four boys & a busy,packed weekend. He truly was Mr. Mom this weekend & I can't even begin to express how grateful I am for a hubby who can hold the fort & troops down while I am gone & EVEN have the house cleaned up before I returned. Thank you sweetie - I SO appreciate you! I thought I would list some of the highlights from the weekend. Here we go!
-Loved the car ride to & from! Fun, serious girlfriend time to chat.
-The Condo was amazing-5 star accommodations.
- For $39.00 I had my own room & bathroom & groceries for the weekend.
-Staying up until the wee hours of the morning chatting with friends.
-Sleeping in, not having to be anywhere or having a schedule to follow.
-The 1 1/2 mile hike that turned into a 7 or 8 mile hike for some.
-Celebrating Stephanie's birthday!
-Laughter & tears.
-Blisters & shin splits-not fun!
-The view from the top of the forest, looking down @ Lake Tahoe, absolutely breath taking.
-Riding the STINKY Gondola @ North Star. A bunch of stinky mountain bikers made that thing STINK so bad.
-Not having to cook or clean.
-Church on Sunday morning. It was a wonderful meeting filled with the spirit & wonderful people.
-Roasting S'mores @ the fire pit.
-People watching & the Bungee jump.
-Jan doing back flips on the Bungee jump, showing up the older lady before her.
I can't wait for next year :). A huge shout out & thank you to the Solano's for a FABULOUS weekend. Thanks for the memories!
