A couple of weekends ago Jim and I went to Big Cedar Lodge for a weekend getaway before the baby comes. Neither of us had ever been there before and thought it would be the perfect place to spend a longish weekend away to relax together. We got there on Friday evening and went on a wagon ride to look at the Christmas lights with other people staying at the lodge...after that we all got to roast marshmallows and drink hot chocolate...as mentioned in previous posts Baby Landon LOVES chocolate. He especially loves s'mores this time of year and to hear his daddy tell it you'd think I pushed the kiddos on our ride out of the way to roast my marshmallows first...not true but I was first in line! ha!
On Saturday we did some sightseeing...purposefully avoiding the strip in Branson because we weren't going to see any shows and I'm not a fan of crowds and Jim is not a fan of traffic! We went to the trout hatchery and watched a video about how they spawn trout...kinda gross but interesting and then we went out to feed the trout. We made a few more stops on our circle around Branson ending at Starbucks. Those of you who know Jim knows he's not really a fru-fru kind of guy...so, you can imagine how ordering coffee at Starbucks went but I'm teaching him! Over the last several years he's sort of learned what I like there enough to order it but now that we are expecting I've thrown another word in my order confusing things all to pieces! ha! No more, grande mocha, non-fat, no-whip...now, it's a grande, decaf mocha, non-fat, no whip. Whew,that is hard! ha!
Saturday night we had dinner at Worman House and it was yummy! We headed back on Sunday very relaxed. I definitely recommend that all couples expecting a child take a "babymoon" trip before the baby comes!
Here are a few pictures. I've uploaded more pictures to our shutterfly site.
