Kids At Heart

Carl and I enjoyed a little getaway this weekend to Santa Cruz to celebrate the one year anniversary of our five year anniversary. :) Ok, that's not really why, but every time I do something without the boys I feel like I need an excuse. I know, I need to get over that. I used to go to the Boardwalk pretty often when I was younger, so it was a nice way to leave everything behind and just relax. Not to mention the last time we went we took CJ and I was pregnant so I didn't get to ride anything with the boys. :( So, I got on every ride I could, and more than once! :)

In line for the Giant Dipper. It's the 4th oldest roller coaster in the U.S. (And one of my favorites!)

I still get butterflies in my stomach every time I see this...

Right after this picture was taken, my sweetheart of a husband held me in front of him during the big drop. Yep, so sweet isn't he? :)

That's my handsome hubby in the upper left. Notice I'm not on the ride? Yeah, spinning and I are not friends!

I would trade a chilly night on the beach for these 105 degree valley days any day!

We stayed in a hotel in Santa Cruz that night and then came home on Sunday. It was one of the best weekends we have had in such a long time and was exactly what we needed. I'm glad that we are still able to enjoy ourselves and have quality time with one another. From this day on, I am going to make sure we are putting aside time for each other regularly. Our boys need to see us happy and healthy and enjoying our marriage. I love you babe, and I'm so ready for the next five years. :)
