24 hour get-a-away & bubbles!


Beautiful flowers from Deona :)
In celebration of our 10th anniversay, Deona and I packed our bags and headed to Granbury.
Beforehand, we made a pitstop to Grammy's, as she would be watching Everett while we were away.

On our way to Granbury, we stopped for lunch at Fuddrucker's in Fort Worth . It's been a long time since Deona and I have been without child for longer than 8 hours. It actually felt wierd not having loads of stuff in our arms. We found ourselves looking around for SOMETHING to carry....a purse, a diaperbag, a child?
Our room at the Hilton, Garden Inn:
Beautiful view from our room:
The Lobby:

With so much to do in Granbury, we really enjoyed napping and catching up with sleep:

As dusk drew near, we drove to the Brazos drive-in on Pearl St.:
Admission was $15 (per car), large bag of popcorn $5 and two sodas $3 ea.
We managed to park front and center for the movie Avatar.

The movie was phenominal; best movie I've seen. I can just imagine how awesome the show must be at the IMAX in 3D!

Sadly, our interal clocks didnt allow us to sleep in, so we packed up, checked out of our room at 9:30 a.m., then stopped at Mimi's Cafe in Fort Worth for breakfast.

No child at breakfast = getting an opportunity to play like a child yourself.
Deona and I play "table football" while we wait for breakfast. :) Deona wins 18 to 12 :(

After breakfast, we headed back to Arlington to pick up our Everett. Geez, we missed him so much. Thank you Grammy for taking such good care of Everett, he had so much fun with you.
Back at our place, Ev and Mama blow bubbles out on the patio. Thank you Ori for Everett's overalls, they fit and look adorable on him.

wow, a whole night away without a child...... what a luxury. You're right though, it's weird to be without them.

one question..... what is that awful looking red stuff Deona has next to her at the breakfast table when you're playing football??? Please tell me it's some kind of cranberry juice and she's not drinking red soda at breakfast!?!?!?

You're right Sal, it IS cranberry juice. :) Deona doesnt drink sodas or anything with caffeine while she's preggers.

Glad you like the bubble pic....it was a fluke, taking a pic of Ev and the darn bubble got in the way. Love how it turned out though.
