Our weekend away ended up being absolutely perfect! There was a lot of stress before we left, and the other family traveling also had some things happen, and I was beginning to think we were all just going to be tired and grumpy. It wasn't that way at all though.
We left late Thursday morning, and arrived at our destination Thursday evening. The other family wasn't arriving until Friday, and it was really nice to have some time with our friends by ourselves. Their house is perfectly arranged to host a large group, and since we had all been there before we know the area and it's just really comfortable. We got up Friday and did some sightseeing before the others arrived, and that worked out perfectly as well because Bob would not be remotely interested in seeing what we saw. We cooked in Friday and everyone chipped in to help with the meal, and we just enjoyed being together.
Saturday the adults got up and went to a distillery where we had a tour, had lunch out, then visited a winery for tastings. It was such a grownup day! Meanwhile, the six kids went out to lunch and then to a movie, and enjoyed their time together as well. That evening the adults went out to grab another drink, and we brought pizzas in for the kids, and we all just sat around and watched TV. Honestly, we all just loved being together.
As Andrew said when we left yesterday morning, the fact that we still want more means it wasn't too much time. I am so very grateful for these friends who are like family, and for the memories we make together. It was an absolutely wonderful trip!
