Anniversary Trip Recap

My whole outfit is from Lulu's/Trucker (where Lulu's sells their clothes locally)
So, Eric and I had a GREAT time on our (late) anniversary trip. We had originally had a few other places that we wanted to go, but we waited until the last minute and the places we wanted to stay were booked, so ended up going to a city about an hour and a half north of us. I had been there several times, but never spent the night.

We were by a lake and a river and surrounded by mountains. It was so beautiful! We swam and laid out by the pool at the bed and breakfast, rode our bikes across the Sundial bridge, had a delicious Thai dinner, watched a movie, at cupcakes, enjoyed the breakfast and talking with the innkeepers and fellow German guests, visited one of our favorite churches, drank lots of coffee, and overall had a very relaxing time. It was just what we needed!

Getting away is so hard when you have little kids, as I'm sure you fellow parents know. The logistics and the emotions of it- I'm sure our parents were exhausted from watching our very active children! Until we left I didn't realize how much we needed that time to just focus on each other without having to feed, discipline, take potty, read to, cuddle, and just take care of our kids. We adore being parents (and, yes, I do feel like I need to add that in....I don't want to sound like I'm complaining about the duties of motherhood), but being just a married couple once in awhile is so healthy.
