This year the stars aligned. After already spending a week of my maternity leave as a single parent, when Drew reminded me that he would be heading up there we made plans for me and the boys to join him after his customers left.
The short version is....I had the BEST time. Maybe because he had convinced me it was the most boring place on Earth. I was prepared for the worst, and pleasantly surprised. First of all, I haven't spent that much time with my husband on a daily basis in a long time. I had my boys there, the scenery is beautiful, the people are great. Griffin and Cooper were great travelers. It was a really nice trip.
