Pictures: Point B Getaway

This past weekend was the annual Point B Getaway -- a fun-filled weekend sponsored by Chris' company. I always look forward to it, especially because it gives us a chance to stay at really nice resorts that we wouldn't normally visit. This year we stayed at the Alderbrook Resort and Spa, along Hood Canal.

It feels a bit like adult summer camp. We all wear name tags, as well as bracelets that give us access to free food and drinks all weekend long. There are planned events (such as a comedy show, trivia game, casino night, and team-building event) and Saturday afternoon is left open to pursue individual activities. Normally I like to take advantage of horseback riding or kayaking, but since I couldn't this year I decided to be completely cliché and visit the spa while Chris played golf. It was lovely.

After we took the ferry back to Seattle on Sunday afternoon, we embarked on our first visit to Babies-R-Us. It wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it would be, but it was still a bit overwhelming. We're starting to get this nagging feeling that we should be planning stuff and doing crazy things like buying gear, so we decided to take a look and see what it's all about. We ended up buying a crib, which is a pretty big step for us. We don't have anywhere to put it, but that's not critical yet because it will be a few weeks before it's available for pick-up.

Chris picked Cowboy up when we got home, and we enjoyed a quiet evening watching Cowboy sleep while trying to avoid his fang-pi. The dog-sitter gave him some standard dog food (instead of his super special "I'm a wimpy puppy who's allergic to every single protein source known to humankind" food), so the fang-pi was even more powerful than usual. And the three episodes of vomiting in the middle of the night were pretty exciting too.

So that was our weekend. How was yours?
