My wife’s god parents have a home out in the country. This past weekend we packed up and took the kids out of the city and into the country for some fresh air.

Having grown up with grandparents that lived on a farm out in the country, I am quickly taken back to my childhood. The boys on this trip were able to not only play with the dogs there, but also got to see their first horse. It was great to see how excited that they got when the animals came over.

My wife’s godparents also kept the boys for a few hours so that my wife and I could go and have a quiet lunch together. And that quiet lunch turned into lunch, then 2 winery tours and then back to the restaurant for dessert. My wife and I were able to spend some quality time together and the boys were able to get out to the country for some much needed family time.

The trip was so great, that we are scheduling our next trip the country this week. It is important to plan trips ahead so that it gives you something to look forward to.
