An Early Anniversary Getaway

Our anniversary isn't for a few weeks yet, but since Baby Girl #3 is also due in a few weeks, we decided it would be best to get away sooner rather than later to celebrate our anniversary! Plus, this weekend worked for Annaliese and Haleigh to spend the night at Grandpa and Grandma's house.

Friday morning Kyle and I headed out to Anacortes. We ate lunch at this delicious (and super busy) deli, Gere-a-deli, and then drove up to Cap Sante Park/View Point where we had a gorgeous view overlooking the marina and bay. 

That's Mt. Baker in the background

From here we went and checked into our hotel, the Sunrise Inn. Naturally, we did what any couple does when they get away from their kids...take a 2-hour uninterrupted nap! (And let's be honest, Kyle had to wake me up after 2 hours so we could go get dinner!) It was wonderful:)

We found a delicious restaurant that happened to be right next to where we had eaten lunch called Adrift. We both enjoyed our dinner and then headed up to Mount Erie to catch the sunset. We were told that it had beautiful 360* views and, while the view was pretty, there were way too many trees to see in all directions from one place! 

Saturday morning we had planned on renting a kayak and getting out in the bay for a bit, but none of the places were available to rent kayaks before noon and Kyle admitted he was a bit nervous to take a pregnant lady kayaking! So instead we headed to Little Cranberry Lake and went for an easy hike. We needed something fairly easy since Kyle's body is still sore, my pregnant self isn't tolerating much exercise these days, and I forgot to pack any shoes other than flip-flops! It actually turned out to be a bit hillier than we had thought, but the lake was so quiet and peaceful that it was well worth it! 

It's hard to see, but a crawfish caught the fish and was bringing it somewhere!

We took our time getting home, stopping to run a few kid-free errands. It's amazing how easy it is to get in and out of the car when you aren't dealing with car seats!  

From what it sounds like, while Kyle and I were off having a good time together, Annaliese and Haleigh were loving their time with Grandpa and Grandma! After all, they went out for ice cream, had water fights, went on bike rides and ate donuts together! They were definitely all worn out when they came home:)
