This weekend we had the luxury of cashing in our first of two incredibly thoughtful "Congratulations on Ten Years of Parenting" gifts (we hadn't known those were in order before but we're big believers now). Saturday afternoon, Jimmy and I left our crew in the capable hands of my very brave brother and sister-in-law and headed north for a night at the Waverly Inn, a Bed and Breakfast in Hendersonville, NC.
With big plans for documenting our mini-vacation, it would turn out that I was far too busy enjoying a quiet lunch, strolling aimlessly through the quaint downtown, browsing in stores that caused my heart to palpitate at the thought of having our small children in there with us, and napping at 7 in the evening so as to be rested for our late dinner in the restaurant that had been voted "Most Romantic" in Hendersonville. Yeah, I was way too busy to be snapping photos.
This evening away together was absolutely perfect timing and exactly what Jimmy and I needed. We are incredibly grateful for the thoughtfulness behind this gift and have decided that somehow or another these nights away need to happen far more often.
Pure relaxation and rejuvenation joy...
