Trip for 2

The private beach at the State Park.

The beach at our Resort.

A night out.....Cantina Laredo

State Park hiking.

My sweet parents gave us their timeshare week this past April so we sprinted off before anyone could notice to West Palm Beach, Florida....by ourselves!!!! We had a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying each other. I am a big believer in vacations alone....they are an investment in our marriage. We stayed at a lovely resort and really spent most of the time on the beach.

When we were in the airport eating lunch, our waitress came up and said "awwww, you must be neweleyweds" (we were holding each others hands across the table). Nope, but we were celebrating 9 years of marriage. I love that we can still get the newleywed label after all that time.

Jody surprised me with something super romantic one day. We were sitting at our lunch table (for a super long time after lunch) listening to a guitarist/soloist who was really great. Jody got up to give him a request and came back to the table. A few minutes later the song "Can't help Falling in Love" by Elvis began to play. Jody and I used to dance to the song all the time while dating...so of course, he asked me to dance. Now, we were poolside with people swimming, etc....so no, noone else was dancing...but did that matter? Nope, we danced the way we used too all the time and enjoyed every minute of it.

We did leave the resort one day to go to the National Park that was 3 miles down the road. It had a long pier we walked across and then hiked around several trails. About the time we got to the private beach, a storm rolled in....

Other than beach going, movie watching and sleeping, we didn't do much. Just how I like it!
