It had been 3 1/2 years...

since Mathwon and I had an overnighter away from the kids. Yes, since we became parents we had not been away from the kids. It was time. And the time to do it was to celebrate our 10year wedding anniversary. So the first weekend in July we headed out.

There are no words to describe the sweet, sweet time we had. Time to reconnect, to laugh, to eat dinner at 8pm, to sit on the beach for hours on end...it was wonderful. We found a bed and breakfast in Manteo, NC right next to the Outer Banks. It was so neat - we were in walking distance to downtown Manteo and we would walk to get lunch and walk around downtown and then back to the bed and breakfast.

It was strange at first, for it to be just the two of us. The car was void of carseats, clapping, Old MacDonald, and little laughs. We began to fill it with memories, a book on tape, and conversation that went beyond the nap schedule. It was decadence in it's purest form. We can't wait to do it again sometime!!

Here are a few pics...
