It was refreshing to get away, even if only for a weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" scoped>.rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9dSpinner{\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 50px auto;\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50px;\r\n\t\t\t\theight: 40px;\r\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\r\n\t\t\t\tfont-size: 10px;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9dSpinner > div{\r\n\t\t\t  background-color: #333;\r\n\t\t\t  height: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t  width: 6px;\r\n\t\t\t  display: inline-block;\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation: rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9d-stretchdelay 1.2s infinite ease-in-out;\r\n\t\t\t  animation: rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9d-stretchdelay 1.2s infinite ease-in-out;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9dSpinner .rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9dRect2 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -1.1s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -1.1s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9dSpinner .rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9dRect3 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -1.0s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -1.0s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9dSpinner .rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9dRect4 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -0.9s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -0.9s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9dSpinner .rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9dRect5 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -0.8s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -0.8s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t@-webkit-keyframes rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9d-stretchdelay {\r\n\t\t\t  0%, 40%, 100% { -webkit-transform: scaleY(0.4) }  \r\n\t\t\t  20% { -webkit-transform: scaleY(1.0) }\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t@keyframes rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9d-stretchdelay {\r\n\t\t\t  0%, 40%, 100% { \r\n\t\t\t    transform: scaleY(0.4);\r\n\t\t\t    -webkit-transform: scaleY(0.4);\r\n\t\t\t  }  20% { \r\n\t\t\t    transform: scaleY(1.0);\r\n\t\t\t    -webkit-transform: scaleY(1.0);\r\n\t\t\t  }\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t<\/style><div class=\"robo-gallery-wrap robo-gallery-wrap-id495 robo-gallery-\" ><div id=\"rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9d-block-loader\" class=\"rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9dSpinner\"><div class=\"rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9dRect1\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9dRect2\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9dRect3\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9dRect4\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9dRect5\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"robo_gallery_main_block_rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9d\" class=\"robogallery-gallery-495\" style=\"width:100%;margin:0 auto;  display: none;\"><div id=\"rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9d\" data-options=\"rbs_gallery_69fb660b52a9d\" style=\"width:100%;\" class=\"robo_gallery  \"><div class=\"rbs-img  category495 \" ><div class=\"rbs-img-image   rbs-lightbox \" ><div class=\"rbs-img-thumbs\"  data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/chris-kristel.com\/wp_family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_9636-763x1024.jpeg\"  title=\"IMG_9636\"  data-width=\"580\"  data-height=\"778\" ><\/div><div class=\"rbs-img-data-popup\"  data-popup=\"https:\/\/chris-kristel.com\/wp_family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_9636-scaled.jpeg\"  title=\"Playing dress up and looking so grown up!\" ><\/div><div class=\"thumbnail-overlay\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"rbs-img  category495 \" ><div class=\"rbs-img-image   rbs-lightbox \" ><div class=\"rbs-img-thumbs\"  data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/chris-kristel.com\/wp_family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_9918-1024x768.jpeg\"  title=\"IMG_9918\"  data-width=\"580\"  data-height=\"435\" ><\/div><div class=\"rbs-img-data-popup\"  data-popup=\"https:\/\/chris-kristel.com\/wp_family\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_9918-scaled.jpeg\"  title=\"We are working on writing this summer!
