Weekend Get Away

We finally did it. Finally. For the first time in over three years Earl and I went away for a long weekend - without children!
My parents were gracious enough to watch the kids (and the dog) while we ventured to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware for a few days. Months ago I had stumbled upon the website for an Inn just two blocks from the beach. It had a spa and gardens and was close to the ocean. I was sold. I booked us in the Palmer House section - a cute little cottage hide out behind the Inn. We loved it! We enjoyed a fabulous breakfast each morning and a rainy Sunday morning being pampered at the spa. Top off the w weekend with outlet shopping, margaritas and dinner at our favorite - Big Fish Gill!
Our only small complaint was the dreary weather that kept us off the beach until Monday morning when we were leaving. We did manage a short walk on the beach and some sunshine on our faces that day. It was a bit of a tease but we will take it.
Suffice to say, we are already planning a trip for next year. We haven't made any decisions as to where that might be but we have definitely come to realize the benefit of a few days away to relax and recharge!

Ah..that's something Paul and I need to do. We haven't had one night away from the kids in five years. Glad you had such a nice time! :)
