Anniversary weekend

Our weekend was amazing! I just kept thinking why don't we do this more often? It was perfect, the weather, our time, everything. It was so fun just the ride in the car, with no kids, it was so peaceful. We talked and laughed, and enjoyed the scenery around us. We almost hit a deer, but my husbands wonderful driving saved the day. It was so scary, but so exciting, that Benji couldn't stop talking about his "professional" driving. We went a little out of our way, due to direction malfunction, this would normally get me upset, but I just kept thinking, I don't care, I'm alone with my husband and nothing is going to ruin this trip! (even though it felt like everything was trying to ruin our getaway, mostly me and my attitude, which I changed way before we left, o.k. maybe only a couple of hours, but I did it!) We arrived at our camping site a little later than planned, and thought that all campsites were all booked up, but we found a site, it was perfect. We had to set up camp in the dark, but this to, was exciting in it's own way. Benji built us the most wonderful fire, because once again he reminded me he was a "professional". We roasted marshmallows, and made smores. We talked and cuddled close. The stars were amazing, the air was perfect! We went to bed, in our little tent, with our air mattress, which Benji thanked me for insisting on getting. I woke up to bacon and eggs, cooked on an open fire. Benji was in heaven, I just loved watching him in his element. He loved this, and I loved being there with him. Our hike was so much fun, it was beautiful, it was breathtaking. It took half the day, we were so tired by the end, but I was sad that it was over. We decided to go to another park, and do more climbing, o.k. this was Benji's idea, but I went along, and it ended up to be fun. We were heading to the bed and breakfast next, but first stopped to go inside an antique shop, in a really old house. I got lost for a while in another time. I couldn't wait for the bed and breakfast, it was all I could think about at this point was to relax. It was amazing! We hung out, took a bath, got ready, went to dinner, then headed back, got our suits on and climbed into the hot tub. It was another beautiful night, the moon was bright with a ring around it, we joked and flirted, I felt as if we were dating again. I found myself wondering how could I ever love Benji more than I did at that very moment. After a long relaxing time, we went back to our room, watch some t.v. and then both couldn't keep our eyes awake, and decided to go to bed, looked at the time, and realized it was only 9:30, and laughed at how old we felt, but didn't care and went to bed anyways. We woke up had breakfast and were off to home, we missed our kids. I have to say this was my favorite anniversary yet, it was the greatest gift I have ever received, time with my husband to fall head over heels more in love with him. It was exactly what my heart needed, nothing could replace what I have been given.
