a weekend getaway

While Erin was headed to her conference in Kansas City I was heading home to visit my parents for the first time in what feels like ages. I popped the seat warmers on in my car, strapped the dog in, and headed off for a relaxing weekend away.

It was the perfect weekend. My mom fixed me up her traditional flax seed salmon and "smashed" potatoes on Friday night. I am going to have to snag that recipe from her because it is absolutely delicious.

On Saturday my mom and I drove up to watch my dad coach a few soccer games. He coaches the most adorable little 9 year old girls. I got way into the game and ended up being a little louder than the parents were even being! We also stopped and got dinner with my grandparents and my cousin. It is always so nice to see family!

On Sunday we drove around and did a few errands, and of course stopped at the coffee shop, Radinas, for awhile, before I drove home. It is always such a blessing to see my parents. I can't wait for Thanksgiving now!
