We usually make our trip in the days leading up to Christmas, but this year we were serving at our church on Christmas Eve and Connor had a few last minute projects to finish up at work, so we ended up using the last bit of our week. I was worried it wasn't worth the hassle to go for two nights, but Connor insisted we go and I am so glad we did! We didn't have a ton of time, but we made the most of our getaway.
It's amazing how some cold mountain air can energize you for a fresh start & a new year!
