I could make a million excuses why I haven't posted in 2 months but I will not. I will just catch up. I will just write. I will just "make an effort".
Dave and I celebrated our 15th anniversary in March and we went into Boston for a night. We went to the museum (and got to see what we wanted to see without the kiddos pulling this way and that!), then we went to dinner and had a wonderful relaxing time together. Whenever Dave and I catch a date or have an opportunity to get away for the night, people always ask what we did. I mean of course since we were alone, we must of taken part in this great and exciting adventure, right? Unfortunately, that's not always the case. NEWSFLASH! We are boring. Yes, we go to dinner and a movie. Yes, we usually hit a walmart or target somewhere along the way on our date. Yes, it might be spending a gift card at Barnes and Noble. And truth be told, when we don't have a baby-sitter, it's a date on the couch with a movie and popcorn. But honestly, we are okay with that. For us, just being able to get out together for even just a couple hours is worth it. Being able to have a meal and an uninterrupted conversation is worth it. We realize we are in a season. A crazy, busy season but a season nonetheless. A season where "the days are long but the years fly by" but we are okay with that.
What's the point of these "grab 'em when you can" kind of dates? Because later when the kids aren't little anymore and we will have the time to linger a little longer at the restaurant, to go to the late night movie because we don't need to get up at the crack of dawn to take care of these little people, to go away for more than just a night or maybe even try something crazy like sky diving (just kidding...now I am just getting carried away!).
But for now...we will enjoy each other's company no matter what package it may come in.
We stayed at the Revere Hotel in Boston and I recommend it. It was beautiful and the staff was very kind. We were even welcomed with a sparkling cider toast upon arrival. Fun!
Seriously, check out the view of the city! I took one picture when we first got there around 5:00 pm.
...then when we got back from dinner.
...then the next morning. Love it!
So the waiter took a blurry picture but we had a yummy (and warm!) dinner at Maggiano's.
Just a fun picture on a fun chair in front of a fun wall!
Here's to the next 15 years together!
