Getaway

Last weekend Charlie and I had a little getaway. Every second about it was wonderful. The first night we stayed in a hotel in Canada just across the river from downtown Detroit. The view was great.

The next morning we got up and did a run/walk along a beautiful path right along the river all the way down to that bridge you can hardly see. I thought I was going to die and I have not been able to run since...but that is for another post. The weather was beautiful and I could not have asked for a nicer morning. We went and had some breakfast and then checked out and headed to our next hotel.

When we got there we put our suits on and headed for the pool and hot tub. We were the only ones there and it was so relaxing. We went and laid out on some pool chairs in the warm sun. When was the last time I actually got to lay out? It was fabulous. We were so tired from all of our relaxing that we went back to the room and took a two hour nap! After 4 months of no sleep I can tell you a nap in the middle of the day and two uninterrupted nights of sleep in a row made me feel like I died and went to heaven.

That night we were able to go to the temple which is always such a great experience. Then we went out to eat at the Melting Pot. YUMMY...if you have not been, you need to go.

The trip was short and sweet but I am always amazed at what a difference it makes to get away just you and your hubby every once in awhile. It reminds me that I am still that fun loving person that Charlie fell in love with years and years ago. It reminds me of how much I love my amazing husband. It was wonderful to get out of mommy mode for just a bit and be nothing other than a wife.

Then we were back to the reality that is called life. We came home and went blueberry picking, we went fishing, and we canned peaches. The kids had such a great time with grandma and grandpa and we can't thank them enough for allowing us some great one on one time. I can't wait to do it again!
