Staying Put

So, last week we set off on our first family vacation. The plan? Breckenridge for one night and then Crested Butte for four (and then making the 5+ hour drive home). The result? One night in Breck, followed by the rest of the week at our home in Louisville.

It was probably overly ambitious for us to embark on such a long car ride for our first family vacation. It was probably equally stupid to try while Sena was sick (and then Noa and mama, too). We had a nice time in Breck, but for the most part it certainly wasn't relaxing. And before all of you mamas out there tell me that I'll never "relax" on a vacation again, let me tell you that we've had lots of vacations with Sena that were incredibly relaxing. Just not sure we can do that with two.. at this age..

So, we came home. And it was the best decision we could have made. Once everyone was feeling better we spent the week exploring and enjoying the area. Enjoying having papa around. Going for hikes. Going to the Botanic Gardens. Having picnics nearly every day. It was so relaxing that it will take quite a bit to persuade me to try anything different for quite some time.
