Mom & Dad Escape

Hey everyone,,
Just needed to post about the wife and I having a little get away. Yes,,,,this was the first time in 2 years that Diane and I had gotten away overnight with out the kids. Not even for Wedding Anniversaries. I know, hard to believe.
So, a good friend of ours gave us a comp. room from her rewards card at the casino. Can I say nice room. We started out by taking the kids with. Can't have an indoor pool available in April in Nebraska with out taking advantage of it. After our swim, we went to a family favorite, Cracker Barrel. As always,,, good. Then my folks met up with us and took the kids home with them. Oh, had to stop at our house to pick up the dog.
We had such a great time. We had such a great time. Let me say that again,,, We had such a great time. We love our kids sooooo much, but it was so nice to get away one night without them. I call it "turning off the momy/daddy alarm" and boy can you sleep good when that alarm is off. All you parents know the alarm I'm talking about. The one where the kid rolls away from you in bed in the middle of the night, and your up and flying arround the bed before they hit the floor. Or their bedroom door opens and you sit up in bed before they step through.
So at 10:00 at night we went down to the sidewalk cafe and had the brownie hot fudge sundae. Was that a work of art or what. Oh man!!!
The only draw back, in the morning when the sun got high enough, it shone in the crack of the drapes, hit the mirror, and relected it right in my face. Which woke me, turned on my brain,, and the day was on. But that didn't happen till,,,,,,,,,8:am, yes read it and weep. I slept in. See, it could happen.
A big thanks to my folks,,, Nana & Papa, for giving us a break. Love you.
Till next time.
