I am that over protecting, over bearing mother who never thought could leave her girls for a whole week and actually enjoy my husband all to myself since the moment I gave birth to my first baby girl. BOY! Was I wrong. Taking a vacation with my Hubby was probably the best decision we have ever made. It was good for the soul and for our relationship.
For over two years our life revolved around our babies and never took a break, maybe an overnight trip here or there but nothing as drastic. Our date nights are far and few between and that is okay with us, it is our life and we absolutely love it!
Back a few months we decided to take a couples trip to Cancun with my in-laws and i never thought we would actually go for it. As the date to go on our trip and the tickets were purchased and the resort room was paid for, I almost did not want to go. Just the thought about leaving my girls behind broke my heart. And the thoughts that ran through my head were even worse. What if our plane crashed? My girls wouldn't have parents. The thought just made my stomach sick. What if we were actually traveling to such a bad place in Mexico that i would never be able to leave or get out?! What if my girls got deathly sick and i was off in a different country?! What if they would miss me too much, they would cry non stop!?....Yea, i think i am crazy or just a Mama!
Well we made it back and none of the things i imagined and lost sleep over did not happen! Thank goodness!! The girls were in great hand of my Mom and Dad, they are used to having my Mom around since she watches them during the week while we are at work. The only thing different was that they spent the night at their house and thankfully they adjusted pretty well to that while we were gone.
Cancun for us was absolutely AMAZING! So amazing i might want to move there, if i can convince the Hubs. Having my husband to myself was something dreamy, i absolutely love my girls, but man do they steal my hubby's attention from me, I don't blame him, they are pretty cute and look just like me.
Reconnecting and having grown up conversations (sometimes a little drunken) was so good for us. Being able to somewhat cuddle without a 2 1/2 year old in between us was kinda cool too :) We went on a tour to Chichen Itza, the Mayan built pyramids and went on a fun explorer trip where we did lots of fun things like swimming in caves, and riding a ranger through the jungle. All these experiences were so much fun and something we might have not been able to do with the girls.
We stayed at the Hard Rock Resort and cannot wait to take the girls back and instead of making it a couples trip, making it a family trip. We drank and ate everything and anything and from now on planning on staying at All-Inclusive resorts...AMAZING!
Now to look forward to our family beach vacay on the beach of Oceanside in July!
