Our first romantic evening (and the next morning) all to ourselves! Our night out was great--TIMEC had the Admin Christmas Party ("Year-End Celebration") in La Conner, WA on Saturday; Josh & I got a room down there for the night at the Wild Iris (a modern B&B). The party was lots of fun--delicious food (jumbo-prawn cocktail & cilanto-chicken skewers followed by prime-rib & cedar-plank salmon, washed down by free wine and cocktails) and everyone was in a great mood. It was nice to meet the "other half" of a lot of my co-workers and see them in an environment other than the office! The regional VP also mentioned we have a lot of growth coming in this area, so it will be exciting to watch (and participate!) in that development. After dinner/the party we relaxed in the jetted tub in our room and slept like a rock on the ultra-comfy bed.
Our room was BEAUTIFUL... a bit on the pricey side, but so worth it! The breakfast the next morning was just delicious and the perfect ending to a wonderful night out... thanks Diana & Jim for watching Jade for the evening (and sorry we forgot to mention she eats 5 oz, not 8!). We missed her lots even while enjoying ourselves... and Emily only cried when we first left because she didn't get to rock her baby to sleep that evening (I got over that pretty quick though!).
We hope to make this a yearly thing--or at least that we get to return to the Wild Iris again sometime soon!
