Parents' Night Away....

We're back! I know, it was a very quick anniversary getaway. :)  But we'll take what we can get!  I worked from home yesterday morning, before we headed to Addison to switch cars with Katrina, so that she would have the carseats for the boys.  After going over a list of 'instructions' for the boys, we were on our way!  Once we arrived at the Gaylord, we got checked in, changed into our suits, and then headed up to their new pool/lazy river area.  Lucky for us, since it was a Tuesday afternoon, it wasn't crowded at all.  We lounged by the pool, floated down the lazy river, went down the waterslide, and just relaxed with some cold beverages.  It was incredibly nice to just be by ourselves and chill. 

After getting in enough sun, we headed back to our room and got changed for dinner.  We made reservations at the Old Hickory Steakhouse at the hotel, which we also ate at two years ago for our anniversary.  It was delicious! I had good intentions of taking a picture of our spread before we actually ate it, but we devoured it shortly after it arrived at our table.  We feasted on an amazing dinner, were treated to a complimentary caramel and white chocolate creme brulee, and downed a yummy bottle of wine.  After all that, our trip to the steakhouse amounted up to more than our room charge!  Oh well, it was so worth it!

We called it a night shortly after.  After all, we did have to get back to work the next morning.  We got to sleep in a little, then headed back to switch cars with Katrina and was at work by 10:30am.  Sounds pretty efficient to me.  We had a great time, but I was excited to wrap up my day and pick-up my boys from school.  My heart melted with Austin's excitement to see me when I walked in the door!

Happy Anniversary, babe! I had a great time celebrating year #8 with you! Here's to becoming a statistic...........of a suucessful marriage! Love you!
