San Fran

A couple weeks ago, Aaron and I flew out to San Francisco for a few days. Aaron had an annual budget meeting and this year, all the spouses were invited. As always, it was lots of work to get the kids ready to be left for 3 nights- but it was such a treat to get away for a few days! The boys had meetings for the 2 whole days we were there. While they worked, the company took great care of the wives- gift certificates for the spa and shopping money! We stayed at the beautiful and historic Fairmont Hotel in downtown. Aaron is blessed to work for such a great company. They take such great care of us and genuinely care about all of their administrators.


The company had the penthouse suite all week. That's where they had their meetings and where we ate breakfast. The view was amazing and the suite was so beautiful.

The view of the city.
Shopping in China Town. Wow- there is a lot of junk there! We got some cool toys for the kids.
On our last night there, they had a formal dinner with great entertainment.

The magician was awesome and he pulled my sister-in-law out of the audience to help with a magic trick! He was amazing!!


When we got back to our room, there was a plate of chocolates for us. The little box was all chocolate and the picture of the front is a painting of out hotel. It was so cool!

I definitely think that a little get-away like this needs to be about every 6 months or so. I sure love my kiddos- but a few days away is just what the doctor ordered to "de-stress" and recharge. By the end, I couldn't wait to get home and be "mommy" again.
