Surprise.

I am still coming down from a wonderful weekend. My darling husband took me on a romantic getaway. My parents are visiting from the motherland so we were able to leave the kids and escape for two days. 

Here are some highlights:

- Friday morning we went for a delicious breakfast at Finns. Delectable.


- After breakfast we headed downtown and looked through some boutiques, thrift stores and antique shops.

- The new movie 'Bright Star' was next on the list. It was such a treat to go to the movie theatre in the middle of the day. Words cannot describe how amazingly beautiful and poetic this movie was. Jane Campion did such a wonderful job at creating poetry through the cinematography. It was a great start to our idyllic weekend.


- He then drove me into the mountains and we stayed at the Homestead in Midway. It was so wonderful. Surrounded by trees, colored leaves and cool autumn air. Our room was in a little cottage nestled away and although it was not that cold I took full advantage of the fire in our room.


-We finished off the wonderful day with swimming and a hot mineral bath under the stars.


- On Saturday morning, I was dragged out of my spacious King sized bed to watch the sunrise. It was worth it.


- We then had breakfast burritos. Yummy.


-Headed into Midway, where we rented a tandem. Super fun. We rode into Heber and went around the boutiques and thrift stores. Ate lunch and then rode back up the hill!


- Read books, soaked up the sunshine and played in the leaves.


-Dinner and a movie in Park City.

-Sunday Morning - made a point of not getting out of bed until we had to check out.

- Coming back to my beautiful, smiling children full of hugs and kisses.

Pure bliss. I love him.
