Mom's Weekend Away!

This weekend my best friend had her surprise 30th birthday party! DH kept baby so I was able to go and enjoy myself :) It was the first time I had been away by myself since she was born! I was a bit sad as I packed my bags to leave but once I was on the road I knew it was going to be a fun time :)

We had dinner at sunset with this view of the lake:





Then back to the house to surprise the Birthday Girl with more friends, food, and fun gifts*. And then we headed out to continue the party at the local hangout:




It was way too cold to hang out on the beach, but inside there was a great band playing and, of course, a costume contest.

For 24 hours I got to just be Sam again. Not mom, not wife, just Sam. No one asking me for dinner, no one whining and needing a diaper change, no schedule to adhere to. It was a blast!

This morning I woke up in time to catch the rest of the sunrise with the fog burning off the lake. GORGEOUS! Someday I hope to live on the water so I can see this every morning:

But I was anxious to make the drive back home to see DH and my little pumpkin. I missed waking up and seeing her cute little face smiling at me:
