magic.

our weekend.

While the boys were loved on all weekend by nana and papa....

visiting montana de oro (where d proposed 5 years ago!)

 

 Dave and I had the best time in slo. Magical. Peaceful. Quiet. Restorative. Relaxing.

avila beach (right outside our hotel...sweet!)

 Long beach walks. holding hands. conversation un-interrupted. dinner without clean up.

our cozy & charming hotel.

 a weekend just to ourselves. exactly what we needed. it was....perfect... in every way. I'm still smiling.

 sleeping in. quiet. oh so quiet. peaceful. stress free. rekindling love. time, just the two of us. the room was beautiful with all sorts of personal touches. a fireplace and spa in the room; warm pie in the lobby, wine hour, a yummy breakfast, a gift given to us when we left, a delicious basket of treats, a journal filled out by each person who stayed in the room, stories written of anniversaries, weddings  vacations away. such sweet touches that made us feel so welcomed, cozy, and completely charmed by it all. It was magical. really just magical.

two rainbows.

 This was our first trip, just the two of us, (of me not being pregnant). Oh it was just special. Did I mention that already? Well I'm just so grateful for the time we had and so thankful for babysitters in the form of nani and papa who spent their anniversary weekend up taking care of two lil boys (potty training on top of that). So there was some magic that happened with the boys as well....nani magic as I like to call it....toilet training success magic....we just couldn't get over the hump with caleb in the toilet training department (Resistance and melt downs....mainly me giving up easily...but nani overcame it)...we're on day four in the 'thunder wear' (oh yes. that's what caleb calls them! lol. all him on that one) , no accidents, no Resistance, no melt downs, just 100 percent happy to use the toilet. Whew. What a relief. Seriously.

All around.... An amazing weekend :) Gearing up for a handsome husband's birthday coming up this weekend...thanksgiving next...christmas....oh boy. I sure do love this time of year ;)!

Happy Monday.

all tuckered out.
