We were super-excited to get 3 hours out of Istanbul last weekend on a "Valentine's special" at a retreat center. 3 nights for the price of 2 and in a beautiful mountainous, forested region. The retreat center is not fully built yet so Micah got to see a cool "digger" truck like in his "diggers and dumpers" book.
Two weeks before we went they had a meter of snow! Though we were sad that most of it had melted, we still got to experience some winter weather. We crunched around on the unmelted snow on Sunday and then it snowed lightly throughout the day Monday giving us the opportunity to build mini-snowmen and have snow ball fights. But how about that view??
Micah and Dad getting sleep dog suited up for snow fun (although sleep dog stayed inside).
Check out this cool hide-out!
The first day was a bit muddy....
but that didn't prevent hours of swinging fun. A great trip had by all.
Mom and Dad's favorite parts:
- being able to walk straight out the door for adventure (not up and down four flights)
- fires in the fireplace every night! How romantic.
- learning Catan the card game one night
- seeing Micah enjoy himself in a natural setting...he hasn't completely gone city-boy yet!
