A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer...

Bryan has been pretty busy this month, with planning our youth group retreat and getting ready to go to Peru again, so I told him that I would take care of planning our Valentine's Day activities. The great part about planning the activities is you can pick something you've always wanted to do! So I did just that (know Bryan would love it too!). We got away after church on Sunday (thank you to Bryan's parents for taking care of our kids!) and drove 2 hours to Belknap Hot Springs.  For more info on  Belknap  click on the link We were gone less than 24 hours, but had a very relaxing time attempting to make a fire in the wood burning fire place (there was a hidden flue!), eating lots of fondue, exploring the hiking trails and secret gardens,   and of course, enjoying the 104 degree hot springs!  On the actual holiday, Cayden and I went to Salem to hand deliver our Valentines.
