24 Hours Sans Kids

My lovely, wonderful, sweet sister came over Saturday at noon so that Mr. Fox and I could leave for 24 whole hours!!

First he dropped me off at a friend’s house so I could mingle with some other moms and pick up my share of the preschool craft coop we did. He picked me up and we headed to the movies. Inception was one of the most original movies we’ve seen in a while. I was thoroughly hacked off at the ambiguous ending (I like happy endings, what can I say?) but other than that I really enjoyed it.

Then we headed to dinner at Taziki’s for the first time ever and were delighted by yummy food and super-fast service. We enjoyed our dinner and sat talking for about 30 minutes after we finished because, well, there was NO ONE to interrupt us.

A friend of my sister got us a sweet deal on an amazing hotel room at the Marriott so we headed there next and promptly went to bed.

The next morning we slept in (if you can call it that, neither of us slept very well in a bed that wasn’t our own) and then went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. We headed home, loved on the kids who’d missed us SOOOOOO much, LOL, napped the baby (yeah, I napped with her), and then we went to Costco.

It was a great night for us. The first time we’ve left the kids overnight. Ever. Anytime one of us has gone somewhere over night the other has stayed home. So this was… wonderful. Mr. Fox is an amazing man and I am so blessed to have him.
