Our Little Getaway...

Last week Matt and I had our first getaway since Crew was born! It was fantastic! We left early Wednesday morning and drove out to Temecula to try and find somewhere to live. We did not find a specific home, but we really got to know the area better and got a feel for what neighborhoods we want to live in, so that was a plus. We spent the night at my sister's then got up early, thanks to sweet Parker, and headed up to Trestles in San Clemente. I got to go for a run then watched Matt surf for a little while. What a fabulous morning!
Back in December 2009, Matt and Maren each won a two night stay at the Montage in Laguna Beach from the Ellen Show. Finally, we were able to cash in! We checked in that afternoon and had a nice welcome treat! (Matt and I celebrated our 7th anniversary on May 1st)

Hello! This place was awesome! Thank you Ellen because I'm pretty sure we never would have been able to stay at this resort otherwise! It was amazing to be on vacation without the boys and we tried to take full advantage of it!

Saturday we met my parents to pick up the boys and then headed over to the Allen's for Matt's grandparents 70th anniversary (also on May 1st). All of Matt siblings were there, except for Devin, but it was so fun to have everyone together. All the grand kids.

Thank you so much to both our parents for taking care of these crazy boys while we were away. And a monsterously huge thanks to Ellen for the much needed getaway!
