Foggy Retreat

Superman and I skipped out of Church after Sacrament meeting on Sunday...I know we're going to heck, (see y'all there)and I`m ok with it, but he and I had just couldn't keep our Sunday faces going a second longer. We weren`t sad or upset in fact we were relieved and happy. And knew without a doubt that we had made the right decision(about the calling, not leaving early) and were pleased with who was called into the bishopric. A great man with an great family. All was well and exactly where it needed to be.

Grant and I were just exhausted in a way no one else needed to understand. So we went home and packed.

We had made reservations several days before for Dolphin`s Resort, just north of Campbell River and about 45 minutes from our home for Sunday night. We knew we needed a chance to decompress and take a deep breath and friends had said this place was awesome.

They were RIGHT, our own cabin over-looking Discovery Passage, wood burning stove and hot tub. Quaint and quiet and perfect.

Something about the cold sea air, the fog rolling in thick and listening to he fog horns from the Quadra Island ferry and lighthouse in front of a roaring fire, made for a perfect night. So relaxing.

The food at the resort was AMAZING! .... but this is the best thing I've ever had, anywhere, seriously....

Baked Feta

baked macedonia feta cheese, roasted garilc, sundried tomato and fire roasted pepper dip, balsamic vinaigrette, toasted pine nuts & black olive tapenade, crusty olive loaf for dipping.

So, so, GOOD!!!

 

We slept in had breakfast in the dining room and decided to head to Quadra Island in spite of the thick fog...Note to self: wait til it's clear next

time.
It was just sooo foggy! 

 

 This is Rebecca's spit

 

me sporting me toque, it was just a degree or two above freezing

 

and the light house.

and yes the fog horn was blaring so we didn't say long....

 

of course the fog started to lift as the ferry pulled away from dock :)

 

 

So glad to have some time away.

Man I love my Superman :) and we even came home to a perfectly clean house. (they're probably hiding something ;) But I'll take it :)
