Two Days + No Computer = Bliss!

Wes and I had the privilege of having a little getaway this weekend in Ellicottville, NY and it was just fabulous! Ellicottville is about an hour south of Buffalo, and it's actually a ski town. Alex's parents (Alex is one of the other pastors at Restoration Church) own a condo there and they were kind enough to let us stay there for free! Wes has been especially busy the last few weeks, plus we'd been going through some tough life stuff, and we just needed to get away from all the mayhem for a little bit and do nothing, so this was totally perfect.

The condo was really nice, check it out:

Here is the view while standing on the balcony:

As you can see, they are literally right there at some of the slopes and ski lift. Of course most of the snow was melted and it's past ski season, so we were literally the only people in the whole condo place which was very nice.

Here's Wes and Boston in front of their condo:

The weather was absolutely perfect and gorgeous both days we were there: sunny and in the 60s.  It was so much fun walking around with Boston and enjoying the beautiful sunshine.

We had no plans, no schedule, no computer...and it was the best. All we did during the day was go for walks, drink coffee, watch old movies, play games, and sit out on the balcony. It was just fantastic. Wes dominated in chinese checkers, but I dominated in parcheesi! 

Here's Grandpa having his coffee:

(If you can't see, the mug says Grandpa)  

And Boston sunning:

We took this one on one of our walks - the condo we stayed in is there to the left of the slopes.

Friday evening we went into the cute little downtown area of Ellicottville to walk around, look at the shops, and have dinner.

Here's some relaxing on the balcony. Boston had too much sun, so he decided to get in the shade in the corner.

We're so thankful and blessed to have had this opportunity. It's SOOOOOO good to get away from the regular routine sometimes and simply enjoy being together, and that is exactly what we did!!
