10 happy pieces of our trip:
1) Did I mention we left the baby behind? We love him and gushingly talk about him when he's present and when he's not, but it's wonderful to spend time just the two of us. That's how our marriage started and years from now, it's where we'll be again. :)
2) No laundry, dishes, or diapers. Ahhhhhh....it was just one night, but it felt like we had so much time!
3) An evening bike ride.
4) The sunset.
5) An elegant room. Yes, there was a jacuzzi! It felt like the lap of luxury.
6) The most soft, "decadent" towels ever. I wrote down the brand name and one day when I'm rich (riiiiight) I'll own some of those towels. My husband was laughing at how enraptured I was with the towels.
6) Uninterrupted sleep. It's a beautiful thing. And sleeping in! UH-MAZE-ING.
7) Being served breakfast after sleeping in. I love to cook breakfast, but it's so nice to have it all done for you sometimes. And it was yummy. Thanks to Patricia, our innkeeper!
8) Sitting close together on the porch swing and reading.
9) My husband. Isn't he cute? He's the most wonderful, sweet, tender, thoughtful, amazing man I know and marrying him was the best thing I ever did (I'm soooooo thankful for God's grace!). He's my best friend.
10) Three years of marriage! Four moves, one loooooong deployment, and one squishy baby later, and we are learning and growing up together. Thank You, Jesus and I love you, my sweet Andrew. :)

ReplyDeleteThat sunset is gorgeous!!! Wow. How did I not know you had a military man??? I feel really special now. I'm having absolute brain lapses here lately. I blame Mommy brain!!! What branch?

ReplyDeletehow fun! I'm glad you got to enjoy a weekend with just your husband. Those are so necessary!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for letting our country borrow your husband for that year, and blessings to you on three years of wedded bliss! What a wonderful night to have away, and such a darling little baby to come home to.

Yay for a night away! Glad you were able to have some uninterrupted sleep and got to sleep in! I didn't know moms could do that. :)
ReplyDeleteYou two are so smart to get away! Keep that up! We rarely get away. With 5 kiddos and one coming it's just hard. My hubby is taking me away in two weeks to a bed and breakfast in Natchez for our anniversary...first trip like that in a reeeeeeeally long time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your trip. Loved all your pictures.

What a great time! We went to a B&B for our babymoon when I was pregnant with our first. Very relaxing.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an amazing trip! I love B&Bs. I've only been to a few, but hope to visit more whenever possible. :) Great post; thanks for linking up to Thursday's Travel Tales & Tips!
