Checking in

We're still on vacation, and we are having a great time. It has been a very relaxing week. I think JD has only answered a handful of emails and only worked on a minor project. It's been a long time since he's worked this little on vacation. I'm glad he's gotten a break. We've both been able to get away from the kids for a bit. He's playing golf right now and I've gotten a manicure and pedicure.

We are vacationing in the mountains at a resort that is probably known more for its snow skiing than its summer getaways. However, it's been a really great location. We are renting a house pretty near the top of the mountain, and the first day we were kind of concerned because we went swimming and it was quite chilly. Thankfully, the pool was heated but getting out of the pool was a bit uncomfortable. We realized (and it's become a bit of a joke for the vacation) that it's about 10-15 degrees warmer at the bottom of the mountain. We've had a great time swimming at the resort lake at the bottom of the mountain. It has a great beach and roped off swimming area, and in the deeper part, a large trampoline is set up. It has a ladder to climb out of the water and a slide for getting back in. Madelyn has preferred to jump on the trampoline and then jump off the side back into the water. Pierce has braved the swim to the trampoline but claims that "he's nervous" once he gets there.

We have one day left and then we're heading to Richmond for a wedding. Then, it's back to reality as we pick up the keys to our new house and finish packing up the old one. I'll post pictures of the vacation once I get home. Hope you are all well!
