Leif and I were sitting down in his office on Friday both in desperate need of sun.  We were passing ideas back and forth – where could we go that wouldn’t break the bank but would provide guaranteed sunshine.  Our ideas ranged from camping in Leavenworth to boarding a plane to Vegas.  When Leif remembered Suncadia – 1.5 hours away with a forecast of low 70’s – we went for it.  The place was perfect for a weekend getaway.  We stayed at the lodge which was just across the street from the family swim center that had an outdoor and indoor pool, hot tubs and two watersides.  Just down the road was a winery.  We spent most of our time swimming with the kids and soaking in the sun.  We sat in the restaurant at the inn and let the kids have the key to the room.  They felt so grown up as they went back and forth between us and the room until inevitably they locked the key inside.  It was really nice to just escape for a few days.  We need to do more of that!
