Babymoon

Dave and I decided to get away for a babymoon - a little quality time just the parents-to-be. We headed out to Mt. Rainier Park and stayed at our first bed & breakfast. It was a perfect mini vacation! Admiring mother nature and soaking in the peace and quiet was just the answer for some needed down time. At Mt. Rainier park we tried to go up to a lodge called Paradise where we could view a glacier and walk around some beautiful trails, BUT it was snowing and conditions forced park rangers to close down the road. So typical of the Seattle area. It's JUNE, what the heck!! Anyway, we got to walk around some other nice trails further down the mountain.

The bed & breakfast we stayed at was different, yet thoroughly pleasant. It was a cozy home built around 1910 surrounded by 12 acres of green paradise. B&B's aren't for couples who want complete privacy (you eat breakfast with the rest of the guests and you basically are staying at some stranger's house). We did have to mix in a little small talk at breakfast, but it still was a very relaxing place. Harry and Michelle, the owners, had many interesting stories to share and we found them to be quirky, smart and caring folks.

Also, Dave felt Lily move for the very first time! He was reading her a book that he borrowed from the B&B's library called, "How Raven Freed the Moon". It will be a memory that will not be forgotten.
