Finally a little update on our anniversary weekend. We left Friday morning and started driving. Remember I have no idea where we are going, so we get in the car and Aaron just starts driving East. We stopped and ate breakfast, then back on the road. At about 1 we got to our hotel, and it wasn’t until about 12:30 that Aaron told me what our destination was…Louisville KY. We stayed at the Gant House hotel. It was nice and right downtown. That day we went to the Louisville slugger museum to watch the bats get made and picked up Turner’s gift – a personalized b-ball bat, which is perfect considering how much he is in to b-ball these days. That night we went to a really nice place to eat and had yummy steaks. Then went to 4th street Live for a little while and had a few drinks. I think we were back in the hotel by about 11. The next day we went to the Churchill Downs to watch the horse races. It was fun, we’ve never done that before. We only won $1 back! Lol Guess we need some practice before we go again, or I should just bet on the horses loosing because just about every horse I would bet on came in last! Lol Saturday night we went back up to 4th Street Live and went to the piano bar, it was one of those dueling piano bars that I love so much. It was a blast. We both had our share to drink! Sunday we slept in, packed up, went to Wick’s Pizza for lunch and headed home. Let me tell you…Wick’s Pizza….the best pizza I’ve ever had. Definitely go there if you are ever in the area. http://www.wickspizza.com/
So that was our trip…we had so much fun. It was just so nice to be away by ourselves and nothing to do but spend time together. After 5 (and ½) years, we still love being together and have so much fun. Not only did I get to get away with my husband, but also my best friend. I love you honey and look forward to all our weekends alone in the future. Now, guess I better start planning for next year…any ideas?!
So another big news update…Austin has his FIRST tooth! Caitlyn called me while we were gone and told me he had bit her. So yes I missed his first tooth L He was fine, just drooling like crazy for a while now. Still is, so maybe another is right behind. We were ready by the end of the trip to come home to the kids. We missed them. They had been fine on the phone with us all weekend until Sunday afternoon. I called while we were on our way home and neither Mackenzie nor Turner could hardly talk they were crying so badly because they missed us. It was heart-wrenching. But then I talked to them about an hour later and all was fine. They sure were happy to see us though. We are so lucky to have them to come home to, I can’t imagine coming home to an empty house.
This week Mackenzie is doing Vacation Bible School for the first time. She was a little hesitant to stay the first night, but she LOVES it. Of course, who doesn’t. And Turner and I are enjoying the time with him being the only big kid. Turner has been doing really good potty training. I don’t know that we are really training, as much as when I’m changing him I praise him if he is dry and tell him to go on the potty, but he is doing great. He has been staying dry through the night – even better than Mackenzie. But we are just taking it slow, right now Pull-ups are easier for me, so I’m not rushing a thing. That is about it…enjoy the pics.
