Got to go on a business trip with my man, with no kids. Here were some of the fun things we did.
-Dinner cruise around the lake (lasted 3 freaking hours, but it was fun)
-Room service
-Got to work out every day at the little gym there
-Read a whole book, cover to cover in less than 3 hours with no interruptions. I was starting to think I was slowing down at reading, turns out I can do it without interruptions. :)
-Sunday Brunch buffet with a chocolate fountain (and everything to dip in it), creme brulee, cheese cake... it was simply amazing.
-Company dinner at a 5 star restaurant. We ordered sirloins which we had to ask to be well done rather than just "pan seared"...I think I would much rather just have a steak, baked potato, and salad for $10 from Texas Roadhouse. Too fancy for my blood.
-The weather was kind of bad so we just stayed in the room. Turns out there are a lot of fun things you can do there...
-Went swimming several times with Stephen. This is my favorite part of the whole trip. When you are married for 6 years it seems like when you have time to talk its just about bills and the children, right? Well I was afraid that our trip was going to be consumed with this. Turns out we do have a lot in common! Ha. Anyways, Stephen was adorable in the pool and we played a lot of childish games. I am not going to list my very favorite things because I want to keep them private, they are memories I hope I cherish for a long time. It was just so nice to not worry about anything besides being with one another. Almost like we were dating again. I think we need one of these trips every single year to reconnect with each other. By the time we left, I was madly "in love" with him.

Aaron and I need to have a trip like that. We have not left our kids with anyone for 5 years. I am glad you got to reconnect. I bet it was nice to read a book and being alone. You crack me up. I am glad you got to go.
Oooh la la - sounds so fun. Next year you guys should go to Chicago - I'll watch your kids :)
I would recommend the every year thing. I think it's great for the marriage. Mark and I have already been on 2 this year.
Next time you're up there you should look up my folks... I'm sure they'd love to see you.
Oh so jealous am I. So glad you had a great time. Every couple needs some time like that :)
I love living in Coeur D'Alene because there are so many things to do here! The weather has been abnormal from what I here though so that has been a bummer. Glad you had fun! I have yet to go on the cruise around the lake.
