We're Back!

We just got home last night from a week at the beach! It was a much needed vacation - a week away from life. We really got to disconnect from everything back home, which was so refreshing.

It was just the three of us for the first half of the week - our first vacation with just our family. We had great family time and it was so good to get to focus on Mr. Mister without the distractions of life. On Thursday my mom and dad joined us (at their house!) and we had a lot of fun with them for the last three days.

Our week was really low key - we went to the beach every morning and he took a nap every afternoon. Then we cooked or went out to eat. That was about it. That's how vacation should be, right?

A big highlight for us was our 5th anniversary on Friday! My parents treated us to dinner and babysitting...yay!! We drove into Wilmington for a wonderful dinner and night out in the cute waterfront town. It was such a fun date. It's hard to believe it's been 5 years, but at the same time, it seems like we've been married forever.

Mr. Mister did so well in the car, thanks mostly to the DVD player we borrowed from my parents. Who knew a kid could watch Curious George so many times without getting tired of it? At first I felt bad for letting him watch so much TV, but on a 14 hour drive, he can do whatever it takes to keep him happy! I am so proud of him - it's not easy to sit still for that long.

Well, I think that's about it. Of course, I'll be posting pictures soon. I know that's what you really want to see!
