We celebrated our 11th anniversary this year. One week prior, we had the chance to be in Newport Beach together. Alone. Sans kids. The only other trip we'd been on together alone in all our married life - besides our honeymoon, of course - was back in 2007 when Ryan had some work to do in Las Vegas and I tagged along. That's it. I'm tempted to say that that's pretty pathetic, but really, when you've had children like we have, it's few and far between to 1. have the courage (yes, courage) to spend the $$ on a vacation, 2. have the guts to ask someone to watch your brood, and 3. not be pregnant or nursing.
We had a wonderful weekend attending the Demarle at Home convention and spending time with our best buds, the Clarks.
We are so grateful to Ryan's parents for still watching our crew when they offered to tend 3 grandchildren for the summer. We knew they were all in good hands and would enjoy their time together.
Time at the beach - after lunch at Ruby's at the end of the Pier.
On the ferry from the peninsula to Balboa Island.
Eleven Years!A fabulous trip, we can't wait to do it again!
