Weekend Review

We had a wonderful weekend away! A huge Thank You to Nana & Grandpa for watching Sally.  We were able to thoroughly enjoy ourselves because we knew she was in great hands. 

We definitely didn't let the flu get us down.  Reid ended up getting it late Wednesday night and Nana ended up getting it late Friday night.  Not sure how I dodged that bullet!

Thank you to my mom and George for recommending this fabulous little get away.  We went up to Walker, MN and stayed at Chase on the Lake

I think. looking back, what we most enjoyed, was the freedom, after our hour long Aveda Massage of course!  No nap time to follow, no little bellies to feed or diapers to change.  We were able to make decisions within a split second and not have to worry if Sally would be able to make it work or not. 

Everyone told us we had to try the pizza at Benson's.  It didn't disappoint!

We were on our way to go get dinner and saw "Thursday, half price appetizers." We turned around and pulled in! We're glad we did!

I'm a big fan of Bloody Mary's.  Often times, if they're served with "the works" they can be pretty expensive.  I about fell off my chair when we got our bill and my bloody mary was $2.75.  Are you kidding?! You can hardly get a pop for that price in the cities!

Can I ask what we did before Smart Phones?  It was so nice being able to search the surrounding restaurants, their reviews and their menus.  We found one that, on Fridays, they serve Chinese Food to go.  We love us some Chinese food!  We played darts while we waited.

I might not have the best form, but...

I won the first game!

Reid won the second game.

The lovely Chase on the Lake!



We had a great dinner Friday night at the Hotel's restaurant, The 502.  We have a lemon drop martini and a Big Ginger. We enjoyed our view, even if the lake was still frozen.  We were able to see some Bald Eagles.



The sun came through part of the clouds and we pretended that it was a beach with white sand...

We had some fun playing a little Black Jack.  However, we didn't come away as Big Winners!

...because I could

Downtown Walker had some very fun shops.  We went in every one.  Reid was a trooper, so we made sure he was able to browse the gun section at one of the stores.

We're not from around here, can you tell?

Can you see the big waves in the background? Yeah right, we wish!

Can you guess who is blue and who is green?

Cheers to a fabulous weekend away!

Sally did wonderfully with Nana & Grandpa.  It was great to have a break, but it was so fun to be reunited again! Will post pictures of the little lady tomorrow!
