Jared and I decided to take a trip to the Lakeway Resort and Spa on Lake Travis in Austin this weekend. My aunt and uncle graciously agreed to keep Parker for 3 nights so we could get away before Avery is born. We read books, that had nothing to do with Mickey or Elmo; we laid out by the pool, without worrying about a little one falling in; we ate good Mexican food; we shopped for houses that were way out of our price range on the lake; we shopped at the outlet malls, mostly for Parker; and we went to a real movie at a real theater!!
The view from our room was wonderful and we even had some visitors our second night. The deer just hung out outside our room for about an hour.
It was all too good to be true, so of course something happened. We laid out for about 45 minutes before lunch and this is not a big deal for me, but my sweet hubby lacks some serious pigmentation. He turned into a lobster within 24 hours. By Sunday he couldn't move without wanting to rip his clothes off. So we cut our trip a little short, which was just fine with us since we missed Parker like crazy.
(this picture is so much less dramatic since I took it after we got back and the burn had faded, but you get the idea)
We decided that we won't survive him going to camp for a week, much less college. It is amazing how hard we tried to not talk about him, but always ended up talking about him anyway. We can't help ourselves!
But we do love each other even more than the day we said I do thanks to the wonderful memories we have made with and without Parker.
