Mommy and Daddy's Trip to Lexington

Carl and I took a couple of weekend trips when Evan was younger, but it is has been a VERY long time since we traveled together without the kids. In fact, we have not been away for more than a night since well before Preston was born!

We decided that it was time for the two of us to get away for a few days. The kids seemed excited about getting a few days to spend the night with Grammy and Granddaddy, but Evan became VERY upset at the thought of us going anywhere fun without him. So, in order to keep the peace and make everyone happy, we decided that our trip to Key West would now be a trip to "Lexington." Since Evan does not consider Lexington a super fun place, he was happy for us to go there without him!

Carl and I spent three days in Key West and we had a wonderful time! We ate, drank, went on a sunset cruise, collected sea glass, walked all over the island and RELAXED. We really enjoyed our time away and it was so nice to concentrate on each other and enjoy being together.

The boys had a great time with Grammy and Granddaddy and went to a movie, went to House of Boom, at at McDonald's, went shopping for toys, built a snowman, went sledding, etc.

Of course, Carl and I missed the boys very much and they missed us too. We were all excited to be reunited again. The day after we returned ended up being a snow day, so we got to spend lots of time together, which was just what we all needed!

We went up in the light house for the first time. The views were fantastic!




The weather was cool, but taking walks on the beach were lots of fun!

We were able to see a pretty sunset each night we were there.


We had fun walking along the harbor.

We spent our last night on a sunset sail. It was a great way to end our trip.
