Birthday Get-a-way!!

The Monday before my birthday, my hubby surprised me with a night away at the Sailish Lodge in Snoqualmie Falls! After dropping off the kids at Beth and Carter's house (a million thanks to both of you) and a quick stop at our local Starbucks we were on our way! We were celebrating many things.....my 34th birthday, our 7th Anniversary, SHORE TOUR!!!!!!, and Nate's transition to the Growler!! My hubby spared no expenses on this trip and treated me like a Queen ( I was going to say princess but now that I am 34 I thought the whole princess thing might be pushing it)

Our room for the night was not only amazing and romantic but had a spectacular view of the falls! If you wanted, you could even order pillow service - there was an entire list of a variety of pillows to meet your every need! Now that is what I call pampering....but it didn't stop there!

We decided to take a quick hike down the falls before dinner to take in the breathtaking views and of course get some exercise!!! All that fresh air though can make you hungry so we decided to take some "snacks" on the way - and since we were away from Connor - Peanut M&M's were not just calling but actually SCREAMING my name!!

The three mile hike down the falls didn't take as long as we thought it would - I guess that is to be expected when you are with your best friend! (and no kids!!!)

That evening we had a relaxing dinner at the Bar lounge with great food, conversation, and drinks! With time like this.. I think we could have solved the world's problems in just one sitting - well honestly we just talked about us and our families - my favorite conversation topic!

The next morning (the day you have to leave) always seems to be a bit of a downer...but not with my hubby in charge! After an amazing breakfast (probably one of the best I have ever had) there was yet another surprise.....couple massages!!!! Talk about a relaxing!!!
Thank you Nate for a wonderful get-a-way and making me feel so special!!! It couldn't have been more perfect! You are my favorite gift by far - I love you!
