Our Anniversary Trip...

Though, our 7 year anniversary was back in June, Jeff and I waited until last weekend to take our trip to Redmond, to ensure that we would get nice weather. Well, there was no question about that! After dropping Sophia off at my parents on the way, we headed to Redmond, Oregon where we would stay at the Eagle Crest Resort for the weekend. Last year Jeff surprised me with a trip to Lincoln City, for our anniversary, so this year it was my turn. Jeff had no idea where we were staying and was quite surprised when I had picked a golf resort as our location (Jeff loves golf!). When we arrived we stepped out of the car and into a dry hot 90 degrees. It felt wonderful and I couldn't wait to enjoy all the resort had to offer in such gorgeous weather! Our first night we got settled in and then took a nice relaxing walk along the path that paralleled the golf course. We saw deer, rabbits, and ground squirrels. There was a light breeze, but it was still warm, and it was so perfect! Then we headed back to our room where we had a pizza delivered and watched a movie. The next morning we slept in until 11:00 (the first time that has happened in forever!), got breakfast at the resort and then headed off to the spa to get full body massages. Neither Jeff or I had ever had a massage before, and man were they amazing! I had so much tension in my shoulders and back from lifting and carrying Sophia. She ran her hands up my spine and it felt like she completely realigned my entire back! Jeff and I were both so relaxed after wards. We were wondering why we had waited so long to get a massage. I think we're both addicted now and will be having another one before the baby is born. After our massage, we went to one of the three outdoor pools to cool off and do some tanning. The sun felt amazing and it was so nice to lay out in the sun and just relax! After cooling off in the pool we decided to go for a bike ride. This resort has 22 miles of paved biking trails and they also have different styles of bikes you can rent to ride. We rented two bikes and off we went. While on our bike ride, we just decided to follow the paths and it would lead us back to the resort. Well, we were very wrong, lol. After 10 miles and two hours later, we finally arrived back at the resort (who knows where we had ended up?). By that time, it was 8:00pm, and we were starving! We had a yummy dinner at Niblicks (a restaurant on the resort), and then headed back to our room to watch another movie. After all the bike riding, Jeff and I were exhausted and fell asleep the moment our heads hit the pillow. The next morning (Sunday), we checked out and went to a cafe for breakfast. We still had one more thing to do before we headed for home. Jeff had really wanted to play their putting course. It's like a mini-golf course for familes with real grass and real sand bunkers and water. We played the course and had so much fun and I didnt even do half bad! I only got two over par, which is pretty good for a beginner. We had so much fun the entire weekend that we both wished we could stay one more day. But then on the other hand, we really missed Sophia and couldn't wait to see her! It was a very relaxing and romantic anniversary trip and we cant wait to go back. But next time we'll be taking the kids :)
