Jason's parents were coming out for Landon's priesthood ordination at the end of January and offered to come out a few days early so that Jason and I could take a short trip together for my 40th birthday. I chose Massanutten Resort in Virginia and we had such a great time together just the two of us!
We left around 10 a.m. on Thursday, January 23rd and arrived in Massanutten around 12:30 p.m. It was a gorgeous and mild winter day so after checking into our condo, we spent the afternoon hiking around the area and taking in the beauty of the Virginia mountains.
That night we went snow-tubing which was a blast, until a huge group of college boys showed up and broke the lift!! Fortunately our time was almost up so we just explored around the ski resort a bit before heading back to our cute little one-bedroom condo to watch a non-kid movie. What a treat!
The next day we spent the morning working out at the fitness center and then exploring the resort along the golf cart trails. That afternoon we had a great time at the indoor water park, realizing how weird it was not trying to keep track of five kids like we are usually doing at these places!
One of the funnest things we did was this Lucky Duck Escape Room on Friday night. We were joined by another group of 4 people and made it out with less than 3 minutes to spare. It was so fun trying to solve all the codes and clues and we felt so accomplished that we got out without using any hints to aid us along!
We thought about going skiing the next morning but decided to drive to Luray Caverns instead which was about 30 minutes away and really enjoyed our time together here. It was so beautiful inside!!
After lunch on the road, we made it home to everyone around 4 p.m. It was a short little trip but so nice to have that time away from reality for a bit!
