...well kind of anyways! i had the chance to get away with my amazing hubby last week. it was 3 days of nothingness, but time spent with hubby and nature and oh.....the dozen of ladybugs that felt the need to make the trip with us. oh yes, friends, within about 15 minutes of checking into our room we noticed the little creatures crawling about. they kind of taunted me. we are awaiting the phone call from the hotel stating that we brought an infestation of asian beetles. so far so good!
so back to the getaway.....hubby had a conference in the town we honeymooned. of course i'm up for tagging along and since my parents recently returned from 3 months in the south they were just as excited to have our kiddos. and hubby's mom was pretty excited to seek refuge here at sycamore hill to care for the dog and suck up the lady bugs that didn't make the trip with us.
okay....back to the getaway one more time! when we left i packed up some work and my laptop. i fully intended to get just a little bit of work done. we left town early wednesday morning. when we arrived at the conference hubby needed to head out to his first session. i settled into the couch and turned on cable tv while he was getting ready. he left and when he returned 2 hours later he asked, "do you plan to sit here the whole time?" umm..."quite possibly!" we did take lots of nice walks on the trails, ate at some fun places, had coffee together, and browsed the town. but mostly what i did was sit on the couch in the hotel room and watch old classic movies, what not to wear, some show about brides buying a second dress, seinfeld, and a few other shows. it was a bit of heaven, i must say!
friday as we headed home we stopped to pick up a bunch of starter plants from my aunt! she has flowers like crazy and was so kind to share. those final hours home were a bit bittersweet. i love to be alone with my man. i love to just chat with him without interruptions. i love to take longs walks with him and hear the rocks crunch beneath our feet. but it is nice to come home to the kids and settle back into our little world.
and guess what - we have fewer of those darn lady bugs!
