In 2020, we started a random tradition. We would travel a few hours away to our favorite hotel to just get away. It gave us a chance to see some new scenery. We were in COVID lockdown so we did a lot of day trips and it has stuck. Our first trip to this hotel was when it was under some serious construction. We brought a 7 week old Charlee along for our Ballantyne adventure. We stayed in the room, vegged out on the couch and watched way too much TV. Did some thrift shopping, saw a few sights then went home. This year we took both kiddos. We let them enjoy the facilities’ new amenities. We vegged out on the couch and watched way too much TV. We met up with a dear friend and then went home, LOL. I love this family I’ve built. I love the traditions we are setting in place. I hope they continue for years to come. Life is evolving, but we always seem to come back to the familiar. It may look different, but different is good. Different just means change. Change means growth. Growth means you’re still moving ahead.

I hope you all had a good long MLK weekend. Enjoy a few snaps I captured of the tiny humans enjoying all the plushy things.

Till next time.

Sincerely,

Deidra Marie
