We did it again, my husband and I hit up another quarterly Getaway! As most of you know, my husband and I go on a Getaway, just the two of us, every three months. These four to five days are focused on planning and reviewing our lives.
However, this past Getaway was spent in Colorado away from home. The pursuit of our normal routine was not accomplished here on this Getaway (just like our last one).
I do say though, it was WONDERFUL and it was HEAVENLY!
Who:
My husband, me, and our rental car. We did interact with several locals in town. They were super friendly, and it was not the “rat race” kind of atmosphere.
When:
Sunday, September 3rd – Thursday, September 7th
Where:
We stayed at a beautiful Chalet in Colorado.
The mountains were majestic.
Mule deer populated the grounds. One morning, we drove up to this group of deer. In that field, there were a total of 20 deer, with 13 of them being bucks. We were only 10 yards from these four, and they continued to just stand there and look at us! Later that day, we also saw deer walking on the sidewalks through town!
Babysitters:
My mother-in-law watched all five of our children, aged six and under, for ALL five days! Thankfully my sister-in-law was in town and was able to assist in the babysitting.
What:
Our main purpose in visiting Colorado was to view another investment property that we had possible interest in. For these five days, we evaluated the property and ran the numbers to see if it would be good purchase. We did a lot of driving in and around the mountains. Got some walking and hiking in. We prayed, read, and took time to relax and talk with each other with no distractions (my favorite!).
That concludes our fall Getaway. Our next quarterly one will be in the winter sometime, possibly December or January. Want to know the logistics on how we plan for these Getaways… click here.
I’d love to hear from you. When and where was your last Getaway or vacation that you got to experience your husband? Please share in the comments below.
Be Blessed!
I was so excited for you when I heard you guys were doing this! You deserved some time away with just your husband to a new place to explore and have some quality time just the 2 of you! 🙂
I don’t remember the last time me and Benji went away for a couple days just the 2 of us! We decided to conquer some goals and once we accomplish them we want to do something just the 2 of us… hopefully before the baby comes!
So encouraging to hear you pursuing goals and making them a priority, Tonya! Getaways are so worth it and super healthy for you and your husband. Looking forward to hearing when you take your Getaway/vacation (before baby!) 😉
