Florida Getaway for Two

Ever since our Hawaii trip, Eric and I have tried to schedule a long weekend away just the two of us.  Last year we traveled to Scottsdale so this year we picked Florida.  Luckily, Darby and Bill gifted us with free babysitting again this year and they were kind enough to keep the kids for 4 full days.  The kids had a BLAST and were talking about their time with Darby and Bill for days later and we were able to relax and reconnect without any worry about what was going on at home.  It's definitely a tradition we want to continue.  

I always leave a very detailed binder of information when we go away.  Most laugh at me but I think Darby appreciated the attention to detail and the hope is that the notes make their time more enjoyable as the kids schedules and routines are followed.

Nolan was kind enough to leave his room and bathroom for our guests while we were gone but he needed to leave some notes of his own.  He drafted this very legal document for Darby and Bill to sign before allowing them full access to his room.

                       

I didn't take too many pictures.  Last year we were a little more adventurous as we did some mountain climbing and sight seeing.  With the combination of Covid and a beach town, we found ourselves spending our days reading, walking on the beach, or laying on a chair and getting some sunshine.  It's always so nice to have someone serve you lunch and drinks while you can sit in the sun with a good book and no kids complaining.  It was a nice treat.

Back at home, the kids were having fun with Darby and Bill and Quinn also go to get out on Friday afternoon for some bouncing and ice cream with friends.

                       

More relaxing on the beach.  We also did dinners out and I spent one morning at the spa.  It was a great trip and we are already talking about where to go next year!
