Kidless Weekend


A and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary on May 5th. This year we decided to go away ALONE....without kids!  FIRST time in SIX years!  It helped that we had the best "babysitter" to watch the kids. I don't just leave my babies overnight with just anyone!  Amy, was AMAZING. Ailyn already loves her, cries when she leaves...pulls her hair....pinches her ;)  Amy was not afraid to hook Ailyn up to the feeding tube at night. We were able to text with Amy all weekend to make sure everything was going well. And, it DID! Ailyn who I thought was going to be terrible, did very well! I look forward to going away kidless again!


We had an absolute blast! The first night we stayed out until 2am..... slept in until 10am. We took our time to do everything. We were so relaxed the entire weekend.


We were able to have a drink at 11am.... have a meal without a child crawling ON the table or falling off the seat.


We walked around the mall and shopped.....for the kids...of course ;) The above picture was on the top floor of the mall. We got a drink and sat and enjoyed the quiet..... again.....very relaxed...in no rush.


The best part was having everything we needed RIGHT there. We didn't have to leave our hotel if we didn't want to. The first night we won enough money to cover our hotel stay! We are not big into gambling, but love our Wheel Of Fortune slot machine!


It was so nice to walk hand in hand and talk while walking the boardwalk. The weather was good, not hot not cold.


Of course we couldn't pass up the Go-carts or in A's case, the pirate ship.....twice. We got ice-cream cones....twice and ate at Johnny Rockets....twice! If you watch our utube channel, I will be uploading a picture of A dancing with the waiters and waitresses. Very funny.


Even though it wasn't beach weather, we still enjoyed walking on the beach a few times.


A even did some karate for Camden.


And, of course we missed our babies! We talked about them a lot of course. But, we also enjoyed the break.


We spent the day on the last day. The BEST part of the trip was getting a hot stone massage.....and A, got a deep tissue massage (no thanks). It was WONDERFUL! I didn't talk the entire 90 minutes and was completely relaxed. We got some lunch after and then decided to head home a hour early....


Thank you Amy for making this weekend possible!!! Thank you for an AMAZING weekend, A.  I love you!
