Best Weekend

I have the sweetest husband in the world! :) Last Thursday he came home after work and told me he planned a weekend in Carmel, CA for us the next day. He arranged for the babysitter and everything. Okay, so I still had to do the packing, but man I'll do that any day for a weekend in Carmel! It is just absolutely gorgeous there. We haven't been away for a weekend from the girls in 2 1/2 years, it was a really good thing for us. I loved it, I seriously kept thinking how it was crazy because I kept feeling for Jeremy like I did when we were dating. I was all giddy and twitterpated (however you spell that) with him. We left Friday at about 7:00 pm and got to Carmel at about 1:00 am. Saturday we got up early, went to breakfast, and then we drove the 17 mile drive at Pebble Beach - Breathtaking! The house sizes there are nothing short of insane. Then it started raining, so we went to the grocery store, bought some playing cards and went back to the hotel and played gin rummy for about 2 or 3 hours. It was so fun, it was just so cool being together. Then we went out for lunch, ran back through the rain and played a little more. Oh, our hotel room was right on the ocean, so the view while playing cards was amazing! I started to get dark, so we built a fire in the fireplace and gave massages. Then it was dinner time, so we got ready and went to dinner. After dinner we put another log on the fire and read from our book that we are reading together, The Kite Runner. All too soon it was really late and we went to bed. In the morning we got up early again and went to breakfast then it was time to go back home. Oh, it was the best weekend ever. We'll definately have to do that a little more often than every 2 1/2 years.
