Bryce and I took Saturday to tour my old stomping grounds ( I lived in Scottsdale, Arizona in 1985-1987), as well as climb Camleback Mountain. It was totally fun! We really had to work hard too. My memory did not serve me well whatsoever, as I thought it would be a hike... we ended up fully climbing over rocks and boulders! It rained on us as we neared the top, and then kept on raining, making the rocks very slippery. However we only picked up a few bruises and kept each other (and a few other fellow mountaineers) laughing the whole way down. Bryce is moderately sore today - I am extremely sore! It's hard to walk, sit, bend... it just plane hurts. But it was so worth it!!Having this time to ourselves has been wonderful. I can't remember the time we had four date nights in a row! It was like a second honeymoon, traveling with only two carry on bags and being able to eat in restaurants not offering a kids menu... ahh the life!
It was actually good for Bryce and I, just in that it reminded us of how much we love our kids and love our time with them. We really missed them, and couldn't wait to have them back with us. Getting back to Tigard, Oregon was great, and the screams of "Mommeee! Daddeee!!" was music to our ears.
Now comes the task of packing, shipping and loading all the things we've acquired over Christmas!
