About a month ago, Bastian hit a sleep regression. He was a relatively good sleeper until that point. Then, suddenly, he was up every single hour wanting to nurse. A sleep regression is officially the most exhausting part of parenthood. We went through sooo much coffee, guys. The lack of sleep was really starting to catch up to us, so we decided we needed a little weekend getaway.
Seth’s family lives in Southern Utah, and we knew that they would be more than happy to watch Bastian for a night so Seth and I could get some sleep. They probably regretted this later, haha. But we were so, so grateful for the little weekend getaway that we got.
Normally when we go down to Southern Utah, our trip is filled with hiking. That’s where this trip differed from our usual trips. We got a room at the Inn at Entrada, and spent the entire weekend relaxing and enjoying having some baby-free time. No work, and lots of sleeping. I highly recommend not waiting until after your baby is a year old to get a night away as a couple. It was just what we needed.
This next statement is probably going to make me sound a lot younger than I really am, but one of the reasons I was most excited to visit the Inn at Entrada is that it’s where High School Musical 2 was filmed. It was fun to walk around the resort and see where certain scenes were. Especially the pool. Guys, the pool.
Nothing screams luxury and relaxation like a beautiful pool. Complete with multiple hot tubs, waterfalls, and gorgeous scenery. I’m not really someone who really likes to swim, I prefer to sit with my toes in the water while I let Seth swim. This pool was absolutely perfect.
It was a short, little weekend getaway, but it was exactly what we needed. Now I just have to tend to a baby who seems to have forgotten his sleep schedule. And a pile of laundry much too large for a two day trip.
