The Man and I thought we might get a chance to run away for a bit when The Boy visited his dad in August, but guess what? Yup. The Boy will probably not be headed to his dad’s until Thanksgiving, if then. We didn’t really expect this visitation to pan out, but it would have given us a little time together.
In any case, we are making the absolute most of our Saturday nights together, and it has turned into an extended honeymoon/staycation of sorts. We have been lucky enough to have fantastic meals just about every Saturday since we started over a month ago. And I have to tell you, for an area that has about 12,000 people, there are some damned good restaurants down here. Plus, we live in an area that relies on tourism in the summer, so it’s pretty easy to take a “staycation” – beautiful warm summer evenings, quaint little towns through which to walk, replete with old cemeteries, gardens, and, well, the ocean.
So, while I could be really upset that we haven’t been able to go away somewhere together, I’m not in the least. The Man and I have done enough traveling over the past four years just to be together. Now that we are together, we have reveled in these semi-private Saturdays, and we’ve been able to drag it out all summer long. I really couldn’t ask for more. ❤
PS Thank you, thank you, thank you to Grammy and Poppy for this priceless gift ❤
You are indeed fortunate to be able to get some time for yourselves. It is important and bless your Grammy and Poppy for realizing it. It is the one thing that my wife and I wish we could manage more often. As you say, it isn’t really important where you go… It’s who you’re with is the important thing. 🙂
After years and years of doing it all on my own, I know how fortunate we are to have this time to ourselves! And we are loving it 😀
Hopefully next summer we can come visit and you guys can go somewhere then! Try not to feel too bad though, Jake and I have yet to take a honeymoon, too! I don’t think up north for a weekend counts! 😉
Oh, we don’t feel bad at all! Saturdays have been so lovely! We can’t wait to see you – you can honeymoon here! I’ll babysit for free 😉
