Weekend Away

We finally did it! We have been dying to spend a weekend at my parent's house in McCloud for months now, and for one reason or another it had yet to happen. Until this past weekend! Other than moving out to have our hardwood floors refinished, we had never taken Charlotte on an overnight trip. Charlotte being the home-body crib-body  that she is, I was a little nervous about how she would do sleeping in a new environment for an entire weekend. She did great!
I spent most of Friday packing, cleaning, running errands, so that when Jer got home we would be ready to go. We hit the road around 5:30 and Charlotte slept the entire way up. She was happy as could be when we arrived and so was I! It had been way too long. She ended up staying up until 10:30 that first night, but eventually went to bed fairly easily and slept the whole night.
Jeremy spent the majority of Saturday in the attic engineering blocking from which he could safely hang the porch swing we got my dad as a retirement/Christmas gift 6 months ago. He happily informed my parents that they could gain 500 pounds and still safely enjoy their swing. They immediately ate 5 cookies and a piece of cake.
Charlotte and I helped prime and paint the swing, mostly enjoying the sunshine and beautiful weather.
Saturday night Charlotte stayed and played with my parents and Jeremy and I went to dinner in Mt. Shasta. It was great to get away for an hour and Charlotte had a fun on her tour of McCloud.
Sunday we went to Church and then on a hike at Fowler's Falls.
Overall an incredibly relaxing and enjoyable weekend. Can't wait to get back up there. Hopefully it doesn't take another 8 months.
To celebrate our weekend away, Charlotte got her second tooth. They are really coming in now, and if she ever moves her tongue (rarely), you can really see them!
