After not taking some time away for just the two of us in over a year, my husband and I decided to get away for the weekend. I actually begged. Yep, I did. I asked him to PLEASE PLEASE take me somewhere, anywhere, I didn't care where. We decided to visit a city we've never been and not too far to drive for a short getaway...so it was off to New Orleans. I don't really know why we've never visited that city but I'm glad we finally did.
I was pleasantly surprised with the rich history surrounding that area. I guess that shows all of you how much I daydreamed during my History classes.(shame, shame) We kept the touring of Bourbon Street to the midday hours! I loved the French Quarter and Market. The jazz is sooo nice. It was relaxing to see so many people out enjoying the sounds of the city. I couldn't resist taking a picture of the elderly couple above while they were dancing in the French Market. It was a beautiful sight. If I didn't have two left feet I would have loved dancing in the street with my hubby...maybe one day.
Now we are back home and back to the everyday duties of life. It was nice to take a break from the norm and get away with the one person who was created for me. I embrace those special moments and always hold them close to my heart so when the rainy days come (and they always do), I can think back over all those wonderful times we've had together and appreciate where we're going in life.
I'm so glad you could get away together! It is so very important. Hopefully we'll manage it someday soon. Jim has actually been asking me. It's just hard to leave the little "stinkers", though. :)
ReplyDeletehi Michelle - I randomly found your blog and Im very glad I did. Its nice to see other Christians on here. I must admit I have found some weird blogs and some weird people with strange beliefs, but from reading about you and seing the music on your playlist, we have common interest. :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I also got away recently. We went to Vegas. Perhaps I should post pictures as well. We have a 6 month old son, so it was nice to get a break (only 3 days) but yet it wasnt too long.
I love the pic of the old couple! SO SWEET!
that was a cute picture with the couple dancing; I'm with you too Michelle; I have 2 left feet too!
ReplyDeleteso glad that you and your hubby got a chance to go away; its always fun when we do it, it just takes forever for us to remember to do little trips like this to spend time alone with our sweethearts
betty
