our valentine's staYcation...

Because there has been so much of this...
notice pete shoveling down there
we decided to throw a couple of things in a bag and get out of the house for a bit! we didn't go far - we just went downtown and enjoyed asheville.
the kids jumped on the beds, swam, jumped on the beds some more and took turns filling up the ice bucket merely for the fun of it. pete was out of the house therefore there was no snow to be shoveled, no wood to be brought up, no meals to be prepared, no groceries to be bought and NO work luring him into the office. i was out of the house and didn't think for a second about the piles of laundry we left behind, nor the destroyed house from the kids sleepover the night before, nor was i bothered by the sight of all of the dead poinsettias and miscellaneous other Christmas garb that is STILL sitting on the back decking waiting patiently to be disposed of properly. our little staYcation was just what the doctor ordered. this morning we packed back up, hopped in the car and enjoyed a six MINUTE drive home.
