We Went to Winthrop! (And Weally, Weally Wuved It)

Dwayne’s entire team was given all of 4th of July week off—and that’s a real vacation!  We wanted to do a Family Adventure after our week at the cabin, and chose Winthrop as our destination. 

This is how we travel:

1) Ice Cream

(This man just doesn’t take a bad picture, even without ice cream in hand!)

2) Walk and Waterfall

And Winthrop is beautiful!

But the best thing about Winthrop was our discovery that the kids are old enough that we can buy them a frozen pizza at the grocery store and leave them with Mama’s computer on Netflix and Mama’s phone (to call Daddy’s phone), and Dwayne and I can go off to a proper dinner.  In Winthrop, it’s Arrowleaf Bistro.  We can guarantee it, seeing as we went two nights in a row.  Sans children.  We were all happier!

But we’re not going to go back that way until it’s consistently under 100 degrees.  Let’s do Autumn next time!
