Alone without Kiddos

Thursday, October 8th, Ryan and I headed out of town to Portland, OR for a few days child-free. The girls went to my parent's house in Cle Elum to be spoiled rotten while we had much needed alone time! Ryan had been planning our little getaway since August and we were so excited to be alone, we could barely contain ourselves!
Our drive down.
Ryan was trying to look serious.. it worked.
Us at Stanfords.
We actually sat in the bar, enjoyed happy hour, and had some drinks.. everyday!










"Made in Oregon" sign



We went to a street fair in Oregon. It's held every Saturday and Sunday, ten months out of the year. This particular vendor had all of his artwork displayed on his bicycle.


We wrapped up our weekend at Buffalo Wild Wings.. very yummy.
Ryan and I had such a wonderful time together! We slept in, held hands, shopped, ate yummy food, spent a lot of time together chatting and laughing, and overall reconnected. It felt like we were dating again. Our hopes are to have a four day getaway every October, just the two of us.

Here is a video of a few guys playing their buckets at the street fair.

I LOVE that you got to do this. It's so important to a marriage to get some quality alone time. Good for you!!

Just as much as the two of you loved having the time away ... we loved having the girls here with us! It was a very special treat to be able to spend the time with them... They are beautiful!

Love,
Rosie & Dad
