Getaway

This last Monday (7/14), we had the opportunity to head out of town with the kids for a couple of nights. Woohoo! We hadn't done this since we were pregnant with Chloe, so it was a welcome retreat. My mom is in midwifery school full time at Oregon Health and Science University, so she usually can't spend as much time with the girls as she'd like, but she has the summer off. So she graciously and happily agreed to have the girls overnight a couple of nights. We didn't do anything too glamorous - instead we opted for the relaxing. We spent both nights at my grandparents' own little paradise: 6 beautiful acres just outside Lincoln City, about 20 minutes from the beach. During the day, we went out to lunch with my grandparents and did some shopping on our own. Not much more than that! We just needed some time to slow down and enjoy not having a schedule.
