Hot Springs

For my birthday/Valentine's day Seth planned a little get-a-way. We wanted to go somewhere before baby gets here and this was the perfect weekend. So, we went to Hot Springs, AR. We left Wednesday night and just got back. It was sunny the first day but rainy the rest of the time. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery, the natural hot springs, watching the horses at the local racetrack, and touring the little shops and bath houses. We stayed at a bed and breakfast out in the country. It was a very peaceful, quaint place and they served a very yummy breakfast each morning! I got a massage one day which was great, but we steered clear of the mineral baths after reading Jere's recent post. It was a perfect little vacation before our little boy gets here. Now time to focus on getting ready for baby - i.e. house projects, nursery, registering, etc... (only 12 weeks away!)

The steam in the backgroumd is from the natural hot springs.

I'm so glad you guys got to do that. I'm jealous! Brandon and I are looking to plan a getaway before #2, so you'll have to give me the details!

Let me know what I can do as you get ready for baby. I'd love to come help more seriously with the nursery etc.
