Mother’s Day Getaway

I had a lame Mother’s Day planned.  Donuts in bed, then hanging out at the house for a few hours and hitting up the Olive Garden for an early dinner.  Then getting the kids in bed and watching a movie or something.  Pretty sorry eh?  That was until Kristin mentioned that she didn’t really want to go to a busy restaraunt and it would be more fun to go somewhere.  We knew that Fall Creek Falls wasn’t that far away, but for some reason we had never been there.  After a short conversation about it, bam, instant awesome Mother’s Day plan.

Two and a half hours in the car.  A short lunch at Quiznos and we found ourselves in this amazing national park with all sorts of hiking trails and cliffs and other dangerous things to play around.  Kristin and I don’t have many pictures of just the two of us so we made Blue take some.  This was one of the only ones that wasn’t foccused on something else.  I realized later that it looks like we are sort of floating in front of the falls, but that’s because there’s a rock there.

Dang, I get distracted when I write.

Anyway, we hiked around for a good three hours or so.  The boys ran literally everywhere they possibly could like those super hyper little dogs on the end of leashes that have to stay as far as they possibly can away from you yet still being restrained back by something.  You know the ones.  Somehow we managed to make it out of there with no broken bones and nobody floating down a river.  We all had an amazing time.  Way better than Olive Garden for sure.  And I’m pretty sure Kristin and I got the classic, self taken, married person Facebook profile pic.  Check it out.
