After waking up from a well rested night, we took the kids to the hotel pool and binged on the continental breakfast before heading out to the car. We drove straight to Julene's house. I was happy to be at a place that we could just veg out for a few days.
When we entered, we spent a bit of time getting to know all of the pets. She has 3 cats and a dog. So, the kids felt like they were in heaven. It wasn't soon after though that Julene loaded us up in the car to head out to a very easy hiking trail that led up to the some beautiful waterfalls.
It was fun to let the kids just play in the water and be carefree. I think that they needed it more than I did. I wasn't able to hike to the top of the waterfall, but Mandi took on the challenge. I was happy that she got to do something that was a little more high adventure.
That night, Tom grilled up some steaks while Julene taught me the proper way to do brussel sprouts. It seems like every time that I visit Julene, there is something on the dinner menu that I have never tried before. It's kind of fun.
That night was spent talking and catching up. The wonderful thing is that Julene gave us a 2 rooms. So, I didn't have to sleep with snoring or any kids kicking me. It was wonderful.
