My sweet husband of 6 years now, secretly planned a mini getaway for us this year. He made arrangements for his brother and his wife to watch the kids for the weekend. David left it up to me to pick a hotel anywhere. Right before I picked the hotel he mentioned that the kids were not going. WHAT??!! :) I wasnt about to waste kidless time on a 6 hour drive to and from Cali or Vegas so I decided I was very much happy with a stay-cation here in the Phoenix valley. So I booked us this fine 4 star hotel and we enjoyed a weekend together at The Arizona Grand Hotel which had a water park that included a wave pool, a tall slide and a lazy river and a pool. Not to mention a poolside bar which had some pretty tastey food. Staying in town worked out great. David is all over the valley for work but, it was great for him to stop and take on the city in a non work related way.
We went didnt do anything too fun. But, we were able to enjoy each other's company in a way we havent been able to do since having the kids. I love my kids to death. We both do. Although, it was extremely amazing and seriously needed to have time to cut out the rest of the world and look at eachother as husband and wife, partners in life and as friends instead of... roomates, a dad, a mom, financial provider, house maid.... I got to spend one on one time with my better half. I thank him for that amazing anniversary weekend where we just stayed in town to watch Money Ball, eat out at The Keg, roam the mall, do a take out order of bread sticks from Claim Jumpers(haha) , hang out poolside all the while hanging out with the best friend with no worries.
Sometimes we need a Vacation.... but, sometimes a Stay-cation is just as good!!! This September 24th will go down in the books. I can't believe we are on our 6th year of marriage. Here's to many many many many more years with this amazing man that I LOVE!! Happy Anniversary Michael David!
