Second Honeymoon

When A and I decided to go on a short vacation together, we looked high and low for the most romantic spot we could find... and settled on Salida, Colorado. Not really, but A was invited to do an ultra endurance ride (Vapor Trail 125) that started in Salida (a rather quaint little town surrounded by pretty gorgeous mountain scenery), so he convinced me to come along for the adventure. The kids spent the weekend being completely spoiled by Grandma back home and they loved every minute of it.

We had a long drive to get there and back, about eight hours each way. It's always nice to know that even after eight years and three kids, we still like each other--and we can even carry on a conversation that doesn't involve children, poopy diapers, or discipline. We had a fun little weekend, and with all of the craziness with both our jobs, and the fun that comes with raising three kids, it's good to take some time to just be us again. But we did miss the kids. :)
