I Need a Vacation
Derek and I needed a vacation. We used our time-share to get a condo at Eagle Crest in Redmond, OR. We were only a few days into our vacation when we realized that what we needed our vacation from was there with us- Bridger and Lilly. We adore our kids, but we have never had a night alone in over 4 years!
So I spent the week in the condo watching HGTV with Lilly (It was great for about 2 days). Derek spent the week in about a foot and a half of water- a.k.a. the kiddie pool.
By day five we had had enough. So we put Lilly in her carseat in the corner of the racquetball court, with Bridger and a racket to defend her from any flying balls that came their way. Derek and I played racquetball and had a great time while it lasted. We felt only slightly guilty that both of our kids were cowering in the corner :)
Eagle Crest was great. There was a lot of things to do there. We did actually get to do a few other things than what was mentioned above. Derek and Bridger rented a bike and had a great time. Throughout the resort their were sports centers with swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, racquetball, tennis courts, game room, weight rooms etc. We had a lot of fun playing ping-pong, video games and racquetball. Once Bridger discovered racquetball he left Derek alone about going swimming 3 times a day.
We had a hot tub on our deck. It overlooked a beautiful river. So after the kids went to bed we got to enjoy a few relaxing minutes together and remember why we are doing this.
