September was a month of many firsts for us. We had our first family vacation together the week after Labor Day weekend in Suncadia, a resort just an hour away from our home. Since our respective families live so far away, we end up spending most of our vacation time visiting relatives. Jeff and I decided that it was time to start to create our own family memories by dedicating one time a year to our family.
Since Eva isn't in grade school yet, we were able to take advantage of the nearly vacant resort area just a stone's throw from our home. Suncadia is pretty famous for being a kid friendly place to visit and the resort sure lived up to its name. We went swimming every day, cycled to the local parks, and also went on kid friendly mile long hikes. When Eva was napping, Jeff and I traded off going trail running or mountain biking. We were in heaven and so was Eva. She got to go on a paddle boat for the first time, wade through a mountain stream, and experience the thrill of swimming in a pool outdoors. We also didn't have the stress of dining out for every meal since we had a kitchen in our room, another perk of this particular resort. We hope to be back for a weekend trip in the winter when the mountains are covered with snow and the cross country ski trails are ready.
Oh Congrats on a REAL family vacation! Much deserved and that little Eva is still sporting some of the cutest cheeks on the planet! Miss you!
