Get AWAY!

We just got back from a wonderful weekend by ourselves. Well, it wasn't all by ourselves but it was without kids. We flew to Boston, got a really sweet car (a Fiat!), spent the day in Boston having coffee, eating out, Nate got a haircut in Harvard Square, walking around Cambridge, and talking. Then we headed towards the Cape and went to a fun Tapas restaurant for dinner (total bill was $35! - good prices there.) We stayed at a guesthouse that evening near the water. The next morning, we went out for breakfast where Nate got his bottomless pancakes at a local breakfast spot. He was very happy about that. Then we did some walking around Plymouth Rock and the town.

We then met up with my side of the family. My cousin Andrew was getting married in Plymouth and we combined our getaway with this wedding. It was the most beautiful location I have EVER been in for a wedding. A big beautiful white tent outside overlooking the harbor, gardens and Plymouth. This wedding was a huge "celebration" as the father of the bride announced. Andrew and Nicole have been dating for a very LONG time so we were celebrating for sure! We have never danced as much at a wedding as we did last night. My hips hurt today - Nate said it isn't the dancing but because I have had four children. I don't know.

Today we had breakfast with my cousins in a quaint cafe in Plymouth and laughed so much. We were sad to go home but SOO happy to see our kiddos. They were split up with some friends and my brother. We were so thankful to be able to do that. Pictures will be coming... but for now I must go to sleep.
