For the last few months I've been planning to surprise Bobby with a 3 day weekend away. I planned on a surprise trip because Bobby always surprises ME, but I'm HORRIBLE at keeping secrets, so I usually don't even attempt it, but this time it all worked out. This was the first time we went out of town without bringing Phoenix along, and although I was sick with worry before we left, as soon as we hit the road I was fine. We had such a GREAT time, and this alone time was LONG overdue. :) Here's what we got into this weekend....
Friday afternoon: picked Bobby up from work with the car loaded, and gleefully let him know that we were on our way to Phoenix, AZ to watch a game and enjoy a weekend ALONE!! He then questioned me for the next 5 hours in the car on how, why, who, when, before he finally accepted happily that we were on our way to 3 days of rest and relaxation!
Friday evening: Checked into the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in, and did I mention that my AWESOME SIL Diana hooked us up for FREE!!! Thanks again Diana for the sick room!! We LOVED it!
Saturday morning: A WAY unhealthy breakfast of french toast for me, and biscuits and gravy for Bobby.
afternoon: shopping and a "birthday brunch" at cold stone!! :)
Early evening: off to see the Diamondbacks win!! This was my first pro baseball game, it was SO exciting, definitely something we'll have to do again sometime.
Sunday: A long overdue trip to IKEA!! This was an early Birthday gift to myself. I can do some serious damage at IKEA, and I did!! I LOVE this store!!!! This was a 3 hour event, so big up to my patient husband for not complaining once!
Sunday afternoon: Lunch and Movie
Sunday evening: Last night out to dinner :(
Monday morning: Checked out, ate breakfast, and began a long drive home. sob, sob, I was sad that it was over SO quickly! We discussed how important it is that we squeeze these little vacations in more often!
Overall I think this was one of the best little trips we've gone on. I missed my baby, but was grateful to have people I love and trust watching her. Thank you, Shawna, Niki, In-laws, and Liz for giving us peace of mind while we were away. Also, thanks to my little bro-in-law and his sweet Diana, that room was the best Birthday gift we could have ever received. Here are a few pics from this weekend. Again, Happy 30th Birthday to my WONDERFUL husband!
