Getaway in Plain with James

James and I had THE BEST getaway at the cabin this past weekend. We learned how to cross country ski - something I’ve been wanting to try for a long time. We even ran into Amy on the XC trails - so fun. I really liked showing James the cabin and sharing my happy place with him. I got to take him to Wildflour to try to the roasted mushroom appetizer. We also went out in Leavenworth on Saturday evening and participated in the “Fasching” event which is like German Mardi Gras (who knew?!). In addition to checking out the scene at Ducks and Drakes, we ended the night singing karaoke at the Post Office Tavern, something I haven’t done in forever! We had a chill Sunday: slept in, had a late breakfast at Old Mill Cafe and cleaned the cabin before stopping at Lake Wenatchee on the way home. We had a million conversations about everything under the sun. It was truly the best weekend I could have ever imagined!

Skiing with the Kurckinkas and Mark

Sunny and chilly ski day at Stevens Pass. The groomers were fast and we got to ski with friends on this MLK day! Edison brought Mark and we met up with the Kurcinkas! Stevens even groomed Pegasus on the backside. I think we were one of the first people to go down it and that was a blast! 49.9 mph today… so close to 50! Always fun to have goals!

 

Swimming, Friends, and a Prom Date Mixtape Show

 Edison's sophomore year swim season is going well and he has lots of friends on the team. It is fun to watch them push each other and grow as swimmers. Sadie has been able to come to many of the meets and that is fun, too! Bryn and Charlotte times at the Lakeside meet and I served as an official. We have been able to spend good time with friends on these weekends when we are home for swim meets, like the Washington Open. I even went out with Karen to see Prom Date Mixtape and their amazing 80s show at the Tractor Tavern. I also made my first visit ever to Seattle Children's Hospital with Reed - his swollen eye (peri orbital cellulitis) came back and we needed a second round of antibiotics. He has been a trooper about the whole thing and I think he finally kicked it.
