Retreat to Bear Creek Mountain

For our first little family trip away together, we headed up to Bear Creek Mountain in Berks County. A beautiful ski lodge that I recommend to anyone - whether you ski or not! Here are some pics of our time together... View from our room...At night...
Gone swimmin'! This little floatie-swim-boat was lent to us by our good friends the Chiodi's (thanks guys!). Grace really liked it, but took awhile to "warm up" to the idea of the water and being in it. She takes a good 20 minutes to warm up to any new face or setting. She has this poker face - no smiles, no facial expressions, just shifty eyes, taking it all in...


Daddy is regretting he chose to sit next to his daughter, as he spent most of dinner picking up all the toys she threw "overboard" again and again.
Cozied by the big fire!

Happy Valentine's Day!

A biscotti in honor of her Italian heritage...thanks to our supplier - Grandpa
(and it keeps her occupied while we eat our food!)
Me and my love bug..

"Oh mommy dearest...I adore you"
(I'm sure will be the first words she utters..)

Chocolate dipped strawberries compliments of Maggiano's!
A perfect little bite of something sweet to end our lunch...

Next, we headed off to Costco for diapers...how romantic.

Hope you all had a beautiful day!
