Happy Birthday Jill

Jill is now officially 30 years old.

For her birthday, John took her for a 3 day weekend in Cascade.

We spent Thursday afternoon at several bike shops before heading to Cascade. We found tons of cool bikes we want, we just can't afford any of them.

We spent Thursday evening at Jill's family cabin in Cascade.

Friday morning we went to this really cool hot springs called Gold Fork Hot Springs.


Then we checked into the Ashley Inn for Friday and Saturday night.



It rained most of the trip, but we did manage to squeeze in a bike ride around the lake and a round of golf between thunder storms (John was very happy with his game, Jill was not, but the scenery was nice).


Other highlights of the trip include the free Cookies and Milk at 8:00 both nights at the Ashley Inn (John failed both nights to reach his goal of downing 8 cookies, but Jill easily reached her goal of three each night), a trip into McCall, a very good breakfast and a not-so-great dinner at the only Cascade restaurant that looked sanitary, and lots of swimming in the hotel's pool and hot tub.
All in all, it was an almost perfect weekend without the kids.
Thanks to Grandma Vickie and Grandma Suzie for watching the boys.

  2. Glad you had a great birthday get away. Everyone needs one of those once in a while. For the record, when anyone asks Reagan who is stinky he always answers "Blake". Sorry Blake! He had a lot of fun playing with all of the boys.

  4. Really, 30? Does that mean you were born in the 70?
