Over at Our Family Forest, check out Jen's Meme. I love them because they focus on our marriage! If our marriage isn't a priority our family structure crumbles.
This week she is asking the question about the best getaway with Hubby. There is two that come to mind. One was the celebration of our 10th year of marriage and we went to a B&B in Stowe, Vermont. We had never been to a B&B before and it was wonderful!! It was the first time that I had ever left the kids overnight but they weren't too far away and they were being spoiled by my parents.
The other time that sticks out in my mind was actually courtesy of the Army. Every once in a while the Army comes in with a nice perk. The chaplains hosted a Strongbonds weekends in Cape Cod. There were classes on conflict resolution and practice sessions too. They carved out lots of date time though. They let us loose on Saturday, early in the afternoon to go explore and be together and focus on each other. We found ourselves at Cold Stone Creamery, the first time we'd ever been, at dinner time, what a treat! Then went and did a bit of sight seeing, hit the beach at dusk and sat in a life guard chair watching the stars come out. I think we got some Chinese later on, but it was just so nice to be away from home and the phone and the computer and the kids to have uninterrupted conversation and connection. I love being with my kids, don't get me wrong, but I love being with my husband too. He's my best friend, my confidant. I appreciate him and really enjoy spending time with him.
After all this talk I think I need to plan another getaway!
So sweet! LOVE the signature!!!! ;-)
