Since our wedding anniversary (May 18th) happens to fall during finals week, and just days before Isaac's birthday, it often goes uncelebrated. But this year since it will be our tenth, we decided to celebrate it early so that it wouldn't get lost in the shuffle. So for the VERY first time, Martin and I took a weekend away, just the two of us.
We went to Carmel (the town where Clint Eastwood is the mayor), stayed in some funky little cottages, got some beach time in, and were even able to wander into shops and art galleries with out contantly saying "Don't touch anything!
We also ate some wonderful meals that didn't come with a free toy. On Sunday, we had a great "Jazz Brunch" at the Mission Ranch, (an historic ranch that was saved by devlopment by Clint Eastwood and turned into a ranch resort and resturant) and were even seated by Mrs. Eastwood!
All in all, it was a very nice weekend (although, of course, Max ended up sick with a stomach flu while we were gone, and Martin's parents had to deal with a sick kid!) But now that we gave it a try, I think there might be more weekends away on our calendar.
