Tenth Anniversary Vacation is Great

So Ben's boss surprised us with a you-have-the-weekend-off-for-your-anniversary so-go-somewhere and so we did! Tyle spent Friday and Saturday nights with his grandparents for the first time without us, and we went to St. Charles, IL, where many bike trails meet and many quaint shops and old buildings need visiting. We enjoyed staying at a hotel and biking and poking around town.

Each day went like this: sleep in, wake up, puke, take morning nausea medicine, go down for free continental breakfast, come up to shower, strap bikes to car, go out to lunch, bike, stop for snack, bike, snack, shower, dinner, collapse. Saturday I biked for 5 miles and never got sick! Really beautiful. Our main route was the Fox River Trail. Was a bit hilly, and we tried out the super-granny-speed settings on our bikes for fun. I strained my knees a bit, not thinking about how my hormones have loosened my joints and didn't take care. (This is something they teach you in prenatal yoga.) Also tooled around the sculpture exhibit in the park, also on bikes.

By all accounts Tyler loved staying w/ his Nana and Granpa and was very demanding on his Granpa, who he would call to in the night. Ask me: Wasn't it great to sleep thru the night? Answer: Yes!
