A Touch Of Tyrell

Our last weekend away turned out to be a good one. Every year the company has a spring awards program for the entire state of Washington (for the previous year). Both Friday and Saturday nights were packed with food, music, and awards. Jake ended up with a few awards of his own. I feel like the proud momma watching her little boy get awards at school! He's kind-of a big deal.

We are at the wonderful resort of Suncadia. Right after we checked in, we went on a bike ride on one of the billions of paved trails they have and found the coolest playhouse in the world I also spotted some things I wanted to come back for in the morning. We stayed up LATE last night watching Lost on netflix and this morning Jake happily went of to his breakfast meeting. I had the rest of the day to do whatever I wanted. I found a plastic sack and re-traced our route from last night. I looked like the bag lady you would see in the city. I had two stuffed-to-the-handles grocery bags full of pine cones that I want to make a Christmas wreath out of. As I was biking back to my car I saw something else that I wanted but would have to come back for it too. I loaded my goods into the car and went back for more. The interior of the car looks a little ridiculous right now! I still had 5 hours before Jake was out of his meeting so I finished a book that I have been trying to read all summer. ...

We will be here for a night. I almost decided not to go with Jake to this "Build Business" meeting....but a free night in a resort hotel in the middle of the mountains, I decided not to pass up. Work is Jake's life and when he can take me along it makes it that much better. The first time we went to this meeting was in April. We thought it would be warm because it is in Eastern Washington. It was freezing and my capris and flip flops didn't provide much warmth. I didn't bring a book, walking shoes, work out clothes, a swim suit, or a bike last time.....but I am happy to say I have learned my lesson and the car is loaded down. It will be fun, even if its only 1 night. I will bring you back souvenirs (pictures).
