A Much Needed Vacation!

Parenting is hard work! Anyone who says otherwise is obviously childless (or not doing it right!) Anyway, a couple of weeks ago James and I went on a much needed vacation. Without the baby!!!
We took off to Jamaica to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary! We stayed at Sandals Grande Ocho Rios. It was sooo nice. "All-Inclusive" is the way to go! We ate when we wanted and slept when we wanted. We could sleep in without anyone yelling "Mommy! Daddy! Moommmyyy! Daaaddddyyy!" We went swimming, snorkeling, ocean kayaking and even took a ride on the "water trikes". We swung in the hammocks and played on the giant chess board. We took romantic walks and talked about our past and future. Did we miss Aaron? Of course! But it was great to be just a couple again for a little while.
So, all you parents out there, take my advice...take a vacation without the kids! It will do wonders for your marriage. Plus, when you get back home those precious little ones will be waiting. You get the best of both worlds!
