I wrote on FB last week that sometimes moms and dads need to get away and just be husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends. Well, that is a great summary of our weekend. We ditched our kids on Friday evening and didn't pick them up until Monday, late afternoon. We raced, road tripped, biked, drank tons of coffee, laughed and talked, visited friends, watched a movie, did a wine tasting, swam, rode a Ferris wheel, and stayed in a swanky hotel. (basically a huge chunk of my
20 Inexpensive Date Ideas rolled into one weekend)
It was rainy on Saturday, and we almost gave up our biking plan, but we stuck it through and the sun popped out.
We came back feeling refreshed and reconnected. It was one of the best weekends of my entire life. No exaggeration!
Without further ado...(you're welcome for the photo dump)
