A Vacation just for us.....Is there such a thing?

Welcome to San Juan..... It is true you really can go on vacation with out the kids!!! Now it is easier for some than others (I won't mention any names....Daddy!) All kidding aside Tom and I had a great time in San Juan. It has been a while since we have been away just the two of us and it was a great time to get refreshed and reconnect. I am a strong believer that all of us with kids need some time away with each other. Now don't get me wrong it is not always easy and every time I am packing to go and getting all of the kids stuff ready (for my sweet parents who stay with them while we are gone) it is running through my head that is more trouble than it's worth. But once I am through the dreaded plane trip and at the location it is always worth it. We did nothing but lay by the pool, read, and listen to our ipods.... It was so relaxing!! Of course, we talked about the kids more than anything else and we missed them so much we couldn't stand it but it was nice to spend five days of uninterrupted time with just my husband!!! I hope we can do this every year..... maybe without the plane ride!!! (Ha!Ha!)
