our m.o.

it seems our m.o. for a new job goes a little something like this:

it's going to be a change in life style.

when will we ever get to go on a vacation again?

let's go now.

recall: 

summer in indy = italy (it was actually our belated honeymoon but i'm counting it as both)

move to california = ny

move to new job = tahoe

so thats what we did this weekend.

nate finished his last day of work friday around 12 and we just hopped in the car for a short weekend

we literally didn't decide where we were going until we hit the freeway interchange and nate went right instead of left. 

3 1/2 hours later, beautiful tahoe!

it was all excitement until we hit tahoe and nate got a call that reminded him of something he was supposed to do.

the remainder of the night and until the next day around 11 when things got resolved our vaca was no fun

a shining example of the no fun part

one thing both nate and i were highly impressed by was the excellant service in tahoe... almost too excellent, like at heidi's where our check was delivered to us before we finished eating. lucky for heidi we nate likes that kind of service.

at one restaurant we were simultaneously seated, brought warm bread, and ice water. 

impressivo tahoe

problem almost resolved.....

weekend being enjoyed!

although we weren't dressed in beach attire 

(because 75 degrees seemed cold to me?)

we headed to the beach and enjoyed laying in the sun and looking at this vista

for maybe... 10 minutes? but they were a very enjoyable 10 minutes :)

then we headed back to our hotel  for an afternoon nap and to let brig have his first swim

he did good but it wasn't the warmest of days so if he wasn't being held very close to your body he wanted out.

however...

love these two guys

swimming with me wasn't nearly as fun for brig cause...

i couldn't touch the bottom without being in shoulder deep which meant brig would be in shoulder deep.

i hadn't foreseen my height being an issue with little swimmers.

i think it may be 

we got him changed and bundled quickly after his swim though and he enjoyed kicking around in his bassinet. 

btw brig, you love your bassinet

overall

successful first family trip

did our trip ease any new job jitters and worries?

no 

week one began monday and let's just say life is not good until we move 

nate woke up at 3:30 this morning to be to work on time.

but alas... the journey begins
