For 45 hours….
There was no autism.
No CF.
No band practice or concerts.
No grades.
No screaming.
No tattling.
No doctors.
No therapists.
No tests.
No school.
No homework.
No racing, pounding little footsteps.
No punishments.
No attitudes.
No worries.

For 45 hours…
We crossed a wine tasting off my 45X45 list.
We had adult conversation.
Toured a museum at our pace.
Walked the streets of the city we live so close to but hardly ever see.
Watched what we wanted to.
Ate at new places.
Held hands.
People watched.
Slept without alarm clocks.
Laughed.
Reconnected.

Our anniversary was this past week. This weekend we dumped the kids with their grandparents and had 45 hours to ourselves. It was wonderful, peaceful. We plan on doing it again much sooner than later.
It isn’t until you get away from it all that you realize how wrapped up in it you are.
Everyone needs a break. We took full advantage of ours.
And.
It.
Was.
Wonderful.
I am SO glad you got this time together!!! You definitely needed and deserved it. Glad it was all you wanted it to be.
@Jen L.,
Thank you! I was very happy with being able to do it. We spent too much, ate too much…but it was worth every over-spent penny. Tires can wait a little longer if it means we got to recharge 🙂
Glad to hear that you had a good time together. Your weekly winner pictures are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
@Missy @ My Life Ain’t Always Beautiful,
It really was a great trip!!! Much needed and enjoyed.
*sigh* That sounds marvelous! Happy Anniversary, an best wishes for many, many more wonderful years together.
@Tara R.,
It was marvelous. A welcome relief. Thanks so much, we’re definitely looking forward to making it many more years!!
Isn’t it so easy to get wrapped up in all the craziness? How wonderful that you enjoyed your time away. Can you try and make it longer next time???
I love your blog, you help me so much
Happy Anniversary

Oh man, it sounds amazing. My husband and I got to do something like this last year for our 10 year dating anniversary and it was just wonderful. Happy Anniversary to you!
That must have been so nice! Glad you were able to relax. This year on our anniversary, we had a busy little 6 month old….but next year? Who knows maybe I’ll have a sitter…
