Little Getaway

Kevin and I were able to have a little alone time this past weekend--so nice!! Tyce joined us on our little getaway but he is such a good baby that he only added to the pleasantness of it all!
Several months ago Tami told Kevin about a good deal on a hotel in Park City. She convinced him to take me away for a half-surprise (she asked me first because I have such a hard time leaving my boys so she wanted to make sure I'd really do it!)
We had planned to go the weekend of our anniversary but it didn't work out so we had to postpone it and have a belated anniversary getaway!
Tami came and picked up Rylan and Asher on Friday afternoon. They were both more than excited to have a sleepover at Tami's house so I was the only one who shed tears :) After taking a deep breath and wiping away my tears I buckled Tyce in the car and we were off. We drove up to Kevin's work to pick him up and then the three of us were ready for a relaxing weekend.
On the way up to Park City I read to Kevin (The Maze Runner...I only read to him when we travel a distance so it's taking us a while to get through the book!). We showed up to our hotel and immediately turned on the tv and kicked up our feet. But that didn't last too long because we started to get hungry. We first stopped at the store to get some snacks which proved to be a bad idea since we were hungry. Too many snacks later (of course we didn't know it was too much at the time!) we headed to eat some Mexican food. (Oddly I was okay with eating at the same restaurant I ate at a few years ago with the Doyle girls. Several of us ended up with some stomach issues just in time for our breast cancer 5k the next morning. Yikes! So I was a bit scared when my food came out and I knew it was exactly what I had ordered that night. I remember my food a few years ago having a strange smell/taste but this night it seemed to be fine. I still couldn't eat the tamale but the rest of the food was good. And I didn't get sick!!)
We had originally thought we'd have a Harry Potter marathon but I forgot the movies so we stopped at Redbox instead. Not a surprise, I fell asleep during the movie (Adjustment Bureau) and didn't get to eat all those snacks-darn!
Saturday morning was relaxing. I watched some tv while in bed and Kev watched the History channel on the other tv. We took our time getting ready, missing out on a morning swim because we were too busy lounging :) We knew we wanted to do a little shopping so we packed up and away we went.
First, food. We stopped at Kneaders for a delicious sandwich, salad and cinnamon roll. Then we headed to the outlets looking for some soccer cleats for Kev (didn't find any) and some soccer shorts (found some!). I left with a couple shirts!
I called Tami on our way home and she so was so nice, letting me know the boys were doing great and we could go to a movie. Of course I was antsy and nervous and missing my boys as well as feeling guilty she had them so long. But Kev was willing to take advantage of the situation and wanted to go see Planet of the Apes. I guess I was willing to take advantage as well, because we went and enjoyed the movie!
I knew our boys wouldn't be thrilled to see us, wanting to stay there even longer. But Asher surprised me and said "I miss you at Tami's house"! I squeezed him and hugged him :) I'm sure it's because before they left on Friday I repeatedly told them I would miss them while they were at Tami's house, but I was still happy to hear it! They were eating pizza so we joined in and had a few pieces while they told us about how all the boys got to sleep downstairs together--fun! After dinner and talking we finally were able to round up the boys and get back home.
Ahhhh, fantastic weekend! Next year is our 10 year anniversary and I'm already thinking about what super fun vacation we can go on. Will I be able to leave my boys for more than one night? Will we enjoy a vacation as a family (cruise, maybe??!!) I love my hubby and I'm glad we were able to have this time together. He makes me happy :)
