Babymoon

Mikey and I had the opportunity (thanks to our wonderful parents) to take a weekend trip...just the two of us!  My mom offered to watch the kids for a couple of nights so we could get away and relax for a bit.  Um...YES PLEASE!!

We've been wanting to go to Charleston for-ev-er to visit some friends, Jessica and Ed.  We had it all worked out...down to the departure time and all the restaurants and hot spots we wanted to hit.  However, and very Unfortunately, the weather looked TERRIBLE for the weekend we had scheduled, AND Jessica and Ed had a pretty full schedule that weekend with work and a race they had already registered for.  So...we decided the stars were not aligning and we'd save our trip to Charleston for better weather and more available time with our buddies.

Of course canceling the trip to Charleston was a bummer...but we still had to use the time without kids to our full advantage.  We scoped the weather in the Southeast (and even checked some flights to a few spots) and it turned out that the rain was pretty much South Georgia and above, so we ended up setting our sites on Orlando.  We did priceline on Wednesday night - left Thursday night - spent the night in Lake City - arrived in Orlando Friday morning and had a blast.

We honestly did nothing but lay by the pool and go out to eat, but it was fabulous.  The weather was in the high 80s the entire time, and felt so good.  We thought about the kids a ton (how can you not in Orlando, FL with Disney at every corner...not to mention our hotel was super-duper kid-friendly with an awesome toddler pool area).  It was great and relaxing to only have to care for ourselves for the weekend.

My mom and Mikey's mom had been wanting to take the twins to the GA aquarium for a while now, and the timing worked out for them to go on the Friday we were gone.  They took turns watching the kiddos during the day and had lots of fun with Grandma and Grandpa.

GOOD STUFF.
