Room For Four

We are here on our last day in Hilton Head, South Carolina. We had the best time together as a family and it’s been the best experience. We don’t always have Aydin, so this time has been really special.

We had plenty of fun here! We have gone to the beach, pool, baby pool, boogie boarding, harbor village fun day, craft projects, ping pong, pool movies, hair braids, 2 hour bike ride and night of fireworks. With all of these things, it’s funny, but the best family “event” we have had…laughing and hanging out in the room! Yeah, something so silly, at zero cost and really nothing…has been the best times we have shared as a family.

It’s in the room where all 4 of us can run free and be free to be who we are. Aydin and Parker will chase each other around, then Jay and I will run after them as the tickle monsters. We laugh until we cry…well usually Parker because that’s what he does best. LOL!

I know it takes a little while for all of us to get acquainted again when we see each other, but once we get in the groove…we have it. We click. We leave off, right where we started. I realize just how lucky we are to have such good kids. I really cherish our family time and love the “several” weeks at a time stays we get now. It gives us more time to be a family, even if we are doing nothing but hanging out in a hotel room. There is where I found laughs that take my breath away.

Key West for Two

Jay and I enjoyed 5 full days together without the baby to celebrate our 3 year anniversary. We went to Key West for our “babymoon” before Parker was born, but I was 5 months pregnant, so we decided to go back. It was just as wonderful as we remembered it.

We ate at our favorite restaurant, Conch Republic, 3 times and ate at the most wonderful sushi restaurant too! Those were our favorite meals. We also checked out the sunset festivities while we were there again…that never gets old. Beautiful sunsets to top it off! Jay went deep sea fishing and I had a spa day for our anniversary “gifts” this year. However, our favorite was the sailboat, sunset cruise. It was beautiful, lots of dancing, awesome blues band, and the food/drinks weren’t bad either. LOL! Nothing beats being on a boat at sunset!!

Needless to say, it was a wonderful get-a-way. We try every year to take a vacation for just the two of us. It’s a must need for a good marriage. Always take time out for each other. I suggest every married couple make a promise to do the same, even it is just a day…got to do it. Isn’t your marriage worth it?! You can spend the remaining 364 days on the kids and hectic work schedules. GO ENJOY EACH OTHER. LIFE IS GOOD!
