The Smith family just returned from a little R & R in Door County, Wisconsin. We headed up for a few days to get away before I start back to work next week and to give David a little time away from work . The last time we were in Door County was ’06 when I went up to complete a triathlon. David and I were dating at the time so its funny now 4 years later to look at how different of a trip it was. I can definitely say I’m not in the same shape being 5 months pregnant, but we had just as much fun. David and I brought up the bikes and we rode through peninsula state park (one of our favorite parks with miles of trails), and even had a chance to get back to Donny’s Glidden Lodge for a nice dinner in Sturgeon Bay (another favorite spot from ’06). Thanks to the help of Cliff and Sue Smith (David’s parents) who also came up with us David and I were able to get out one of the days to bike and go out to dinner just the two of us . Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Smith!!!

This 2 bedroom condo we rented was just perfect….located in Fish Creek, with a nice pool, with a great locked storage space for the bikes and jogger stroller and minutes from Peninsula State Park so we could just ride directly there and not even mess with taking the car.
As for Caden….he seemed to enjoy the new surroundings, beach, and bike-riding and even better…..was healthy with no health issues! Yeah!
We head up to Milwaukee next week Thursday the 12th for an Echo /Level 2 Ultrasound for baby #2 to make sure all is well with the baby’s heart.

Love to you all ~
