Back To Reality

We are back from our wonderful get-away where we had beautiful weather and a wonderful, relaxing time to real life (really terrible weather and work- I'm typing this while rain and chunks of HAIL are smashing to the ground and making quite the sound and I've just finished cleaning half the house).

This is the rain. It's a blurry picture because my camera isn't very good AND the rain is coming down REALLY hard.

Here you can see the hail. It's the round white stuff all over the wood.

Calabogie had perfect weather. It was sunny and warm and not a single drop of rain. We spent the majority of our vacation doing nothing and that's the way we wanted it. It is so nice to see my husband sitting or lying down relaxing or napping. Something he rarely does. He was so relaxed and happy and so was I.

This is the Dickson Manor where we stayed. It is fairly new and thus looks it. I was standing in the golf course when I took this picture.

This is our quaint little balcony. We enjoyed some reading on it.


This was the view from our balcony. A nice little pond with an island.

The activities that we did enjoy were swimming (this feels wonderful on my big pregnant body), the hot tub (which my husband really enjoys) , reading in various locations and a walk to the lake.

This is the lake that you can swim in. There is a beach a little farther down but we didn't go to the beach.

Some may be thinking, "You went away and you didn't do anything?" but try and imagine mountain biking, playing tennis or even a hike in the hills while you weigh a lot more than normal and you are front heavy. Dave and I would both enjoy going back again. Maybe the next time I wont have such a large belly. The mountain biking sounded like a lot of fun.

Doing nothing is the way it's supposed to be on a much needed vacation...especially when you only have a few days! And, as you said, being as pregnant as you are, you really wouldn't want to do most of those things and just think, your days of total relaxation are becoming fewer so good job for taking advantage of the ones you have left!:) Can't wait to see your baby boy!
