The Weekend

We took a little weekend getaway this past weekend.  I picked Lonnie up from work on Friday and we drove about 4 hours away to a place called Big Ce.dar L.odge.  We have been before but not  since Blakely was born.  It is really a great place, especially in the fall.  The trees were gorgeous.

We got there late Friday night.  B did great in the car.  She slept the last half of the drive and then played for about 30 minutes when we got there.  Then I put her down and she went straight to sleep.  Lonnie had a meeting the next day so it was just me and Blakely until late afternoon.  We ordered breakfast from room service and at it together in the bed.  After her morning nap I put her in the stroller and we went walking.  She loved it and the weather was perfect.  I snapped a few pictures with my phone because the card in my good camera is messed up or something.  

I took her back to the room for lunch.  More room service :)

After her afternoon nap we played in the big rocking chairs on the balcony.  

Then we took another little walk when Lonnie got out of the meeting. 

That night we all three went to dinner with some of the people from Lonnie's meeting.  B was the only child with 10 other adults.  I was a little nervous how she would do but she actually did well.  We had to take her outside a couple of times just so she could run around.  She stayed up an hour past bedtime so she was close to melting down but we left just before that could happen.  

On Sunday we headed back home.  The drive through the Ozark Mountains was absolutely gorgeous.  Colorful trees, green pastures, and blue skies with bright sunshine!  It was the perfect time of year to drive through there.  We stopped in Little Rock to drop Lonnie off at the airport because he has to go to Chicago for a few days.  B and I headed home after that.  She was super excited to get home to all of her birthday toys!

So Blakely and I are going to have a few days of just Mommy/daughter time since Daddy is out of town.  Today we went to the gym and then went on a lunch date.  

When we got home I took her outside to play in the yard.  She loved tearing up as many leaves as she could!  

Tomorrow I think we will go to the gym and then maybe the library.  On Wednesday she has her one year pictures.  I still haven't figured out what she is going to wear...probably should get on that!

Hope everyone had a great weekend.  And thank you for all of the sweet comments on her birthday party post!
