Sun Mountain Lodge

One day while we were in Winthrop, we took a day trip up to Sun Mountain Lodge. Although we had a great time sledding, going on a sleigh ride and eating lunch with a fantastic view at the end of the day we were content to return to the inn. Sun Mountain Lodge is great for families, but it is also the most crowded destination in all the Methow Valley.

Gigantic fireplaces, Christmas decorations galore and moderately helpful staff comprised the Sun Mountain Lodge experience.

Winthrop: weekend getaway

Two days after I gave birth to Asher, Cameron suggested we go on a little weekend getaway. Given my current state, I would have never thought of doing so on my own. We packed up the car and headed on a scenic drive up to Winthrop with no particular plan in mind. The sun was shining, we were together and I could already feel my heart take its first steps toward healing. Despite our circumstances my heart felt full just thinking about how much I had to be grateful for.
