Girls weekend...




My beautiful Sister!

Heather and Henna her love

This past weekend I was able to go and visit my sister Heather in Denver. Mitch kept the kids and I took my first alone vacation ever. Heather was such a great hostess. I didnt know what to do with myself! Heather is a fantastic chef and cooked me some great food. In fact saturday night she made me the best meal ever. Grilled trout stuffed with wild mushroom dexdel (i think thats what its called), orange cauliflower, fresh roasted corn, mussels and chocolate lava cake for dessert. Seriously it was to die for! We went to a farmers market in Boulder where we got our fresh food. I was so jealous at how many organic markets there are up there and how inexpensive they were.
We went to a flea market, to the Flatirons mall (best mall I have ever been to) and for a drive up past Boulder falls and into the mountains, where it was beautiful with fall colors. On friday night she took me to a comedy club and we had a great time, I havent laughed that hard in a long time.
We were able to just hang out and watch movies and be sisters, something I cherish and have missed for a long time. Thank you Heather so much! We will definately have to make it an annual thing.
Mitch did survive with the kids, I think he found a new level of appreciation for me. Caleb had a mild bike incident where he scuffed up his chin, Aubrie had a great soccer game that I missed (of course) and Bryn, well lets just say when she saw me when I got home, she wasnt going to let go of me! She even hit Aubrie in the face and said "Mine" when Aubs tried to hug me. All in all it was a really great weekend.

So how far in advance do I have to book my stay at Heather's house??


I'm glad you gals had fun. I have to say, I'm a little envious! That must have been just what the doctor ordered. Good for you!!

I can't believe how much you and your sister look alike! You aren't twins are you? Sounds like you had a great time. It's always nice to get a real vacation without the kids. You come back feeling like a whole new person.
