It's been an incredible couple of days away

When Thomas was accepted to attend the Ohio Boys Buckeye State week, Andrew and I decided it was a good time to think about getting away just the two of us.  While we are occasionally able to have a night alone at home, even that is rare.  The last time we were able to go away together just the two of us was 2012.  I love my kids and I enjoy taking them with us, but we were pretty excited about it being all about us.  We confirmed Catherine could stay with the pets and made our plans.

We chose Lexington because we wanted somewhere that we could basically park the car and walk.  It meant a bar needed to be in the hotel and lots of dining nearby.  This trip has been amazing.  We've had absolutely incredible food, fabulous drinks, awesome coffee, gorgeous weather...all coming together for this trip.  We are only two hours away, so I was comfortable leaving but still close enough if there was an emergency.  I appreciated the extra sleep (yesterday I took two naps), I appreciated the forced relaxation (no laundry or chores to do!), and I appreciated the fact that we could afford to do all of this and not feel guilty.

As lovely as it has been though, I am ready to head home.  I'm ready to sleep in my own bed tonight (these pillows are not great), I'm ready to see my sweet pup, I'm ready to get some laundry done, and I'm even ready to work tomorrow.  These couple of days were exactly what I hoped they would be...and they've been fabulous!
