Anniversary Weekend

Pete and I are safely (albeit sadly!) home from our romantic, anniversary getaway to the Sierra mountains. We had a fabulous time -- loads of relaxation; spa-ing (we both tried the famed "hot stone massage" and I'm happy to report that it's reputation as the "Mercedes of Massages" is well deserved!); work-outs; reading; movie watching (5 movies in 5 nights!); yum, yum YUMMMMY food; and breath-taking scenery.

As predicted, the weather was chilly (we actually woke up to snow the first morning!) but it made for a very cozy and beautiful weekend. And as you'll see from the pics, the contrast between the snow-capped mountains and the fall foliage was unbelievably gorgeous.

The resort was not super kid-friendly, which was just fine by us...As much as I love my little munchkins, kids and "relaxing romance" do not necessarily co-exist seamlessly (especially with a 2-year-old whose new favorite phrase is "No! I do it!" followed by hysterical theatrics.) So we wouldn't necessarily recommend Double Eagle Resort for a family vacation, but if anyone reading this is looking for an amazing, adults-only getaway within a few hours drive of SF, it's worth checking out.

p.s. We made it home late Monday night, relieved my weary parents of their babysitting duties, had a wonderful night sleep and then made it in for my second-to-last Folfox appt bright and early Tuesday morning. Seven down, only ONE more to go! YIPPEEEEE!!!
