Geneva Getaway

Last spring, a sweet couple in our church offered to keep the kids for us for a weekend. We never could work out dates then, but they made the offer again in September. This time, we booked flights before they could change their mind! We have never left the kids overnight, so it was a big step for me.  We decided to go big and took a quick flight to Geneva, Switzerland and stayed at the posh Four Seasons. 36 hours of luxury!!

A TV in the bathroom mirror

We enjoyed walking through the Old Town and having a fondue dinner. The fondue was fun, but the best part of the meal was watching some obnoxious Chinese students get chewed out by the waiter. After they told him that that is how they do things in China, he not-so-kindly informed them that they were not in China and in Switzerland they should not act that way. Fairly humorous.

Super fancy breakfast

Switzerland is super expensive ($8 for a small Starbucks coffee, for ex), so loved being able to splurge a little without the kids. Loved having this time, just us. Loved time to relax, rest, talk, and eat meals quietly and slowly. Love that my kids were having a blast with Paul and Erin, and not missing us one bit. Loved the coming home hugs, smiles, and stories from the weekend. Such a great getaway!
