Now that we have another little one on the way Charlie and I are quickly losing much needed time alone together. We are happy that his parents moved down for several reasons, one being some extra hands and hearts to love our children for us when we need a break. My mom is WONDERFUL but since she is single and supporting herself, she is very busy working and doesn't have long periods of time to take them for us. Right now neither of Charlie's parents are working so we are trying to take advantage of this short period of time before little baby arrives to get away just the two of us.
Recently I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with a small chunk of money from my grandpa's inheritance. I don't have anything material that I want/need but I do enjoy a small vacation now and then. So I told Charlie we should go on one small vacation before the end of summer. We hadn't been to the beach yet and so thats what we decided, well, thats what he though ;) as I thought about it, spending more than one day at the beach with 2 small children isn't all that fun. Right now, they do better for day trips. Hotels are not fun at all. Then I thought about Charlie's parents being here and having nothing to do so I asked them if they wouldn't mind watching the boys overnight for us. Of course they were excited to do it. And we kept it a secret from Charlie up until a few days before the trip. I couldn't wait any longer. He was very excited to hear that it was going to be just him and I at the beach :) I booked us a nice romantic room right on the shore. The weather was absolutely beautiful! Couldn't have asked for a more perfect weekend. We enjoyed every minute of our time away and the boys also had fun with Papa and Goomie.
