Trip Down Memory Lane

Andi and I are spending the weekend at one of our favorite places on Earth: the cabin.

We left work Friday afternoon, grabbed the pooch and headed up North for a relaxing weekend. The snowy landscape isn't exactly the same as our intended Spring Break vacation in Nicaragua, but it's a heck of a lot cheaper and still pretty relaxing. Maybe it's my pregnancy hormones taking over ... I was nearly brought to tears when we pulled into town last night. All our great summer memories came flooding back; oh how I missed this place. Andi commented that even certain smells or a glimpse of something small reminded him of our awesome summer here. We have so much love in our hearts for Crosslake.

We grabbed dinner to-go at Rafferty's Pizza (chicken alfredo, OMG SO GOOD!) and snuggled up by the fire with a bottle of wine (for Andi) and a glass of water for me.

It's amazing how soundly you can sleep in the country. We both snagged a much needed uninterrupted 8 hours of zzz's last night. It's so peaceful here.

This morning we woke up to light snowflakes falling outside. It was a beautiful scene outside our window (until I remembered how over winter I am). We got dressed and drove into Nisswa to meet our friends John, Carna and their little son Parker for breakfast.

There's a St. Patrick's Day parade in town later this afternoon, but at this point more snuggling by the fire and maybe an afternoon nap seem to be in order.

Tomorrow we're driving 50 miles North to Walker, Minnesota for a night's stay at Chase On The Lake. Andi booked spa appointments and we've got more relaxation in store. Maybe some time outside if the weather warms up a bit.

Happy mini vacation ...
