This past weekend Paul and I finally had the opportunity to get away for some much needed time away and time together. We had planned on going away in January for our 5 Year Anniversary but the timing wasn't right and it was only recently that all the pieces fell into place.
A few weeks ago Paul surprised my with all the details taken care of for this past weekend. Everything was booked and child care taken care of with a special weekend at Nana's for the kids.
We were booked in at the Delta Sherwood Inn located in the Muskokas. For those of you that don't know this area it is the most beautiful part of Ontario known as the Canadian Shield. While this time of year it is rather muddy and in some places still snow covered, we took in the drive and area knowing the beauty that lay beneath.
Each night they had a campfire outside for us.
The beautiful Main Inn. We had the most amazing gourmet food and large fireplace in the main room.
The panoramic view from the main dock.
The most beautiful trail from the main inn down to what looks like in the summer is an archway for weddings.
We went into town and found a little antique shop and in the back I spotted this blanket. Heavier wool blanket with crochet flowers felted and sewn on with fringe hanging from the flowers. It was truly a piece of artwork.
The view from our room. We had large windows that looked out onto the lake, a fireplace to keep us warm and a large comfy king size bed (I am trying to figure out if a king would fit in our room at home there was so much space it was amazing, but alas, not enough room)
The weekend away together was amazing. Lots of time resting, relaxing, and of course what most parents want and need with small children; SLEEP! We had some special moments as well just being together without worrying about what needs to get done, who is watching who, and feeling lazy for just sitting around all weekend.
It was out first weekend away since out honeymoon and I am sure it will be awhile before we are able to get away again. Now back to the daily routines which I am finding a little more difficult on this Monday morning. I think everyone missed each other and so we are going to continue the relaxation for just one more day! Routines can wait until tomorrow.
