The first weekend away in two and a half years

On Thursday, my mom drove down and stayed with the girls so that Michael and I could get away for the weekend. It was the first time we've spent a night without kids since Jane arrived.

We attended our choir retreat in the lovely Callaway Gardens, where we spent several sessions learning music for our December Christmas program. This retreat had all the classic elements of a perfect retreat, including good fellowship, wonderful food, plush accommodations, lovely scenery, productive and inspiring sessions, and a very entertaining magic show. During our downtime we walked through parts of the lovely gardens, and took in the live butterfly hothouse and the birds of prey demonstration.

It was so fun to get away, and though we missed the girls, we knew they were in good hands. We must do this every year.
