Our Time Away

My husband and I had an opportunity to get away for a few days this past week. We were able to leave the kids with their grandparents and spend some quality time together. We celebrated my 30th birthday and our upcoming anniversary. We had a fabulous time.
We enjoy each other's company but don't get to go away a lot because of the kids. Our family is in Ft. Lauderdale so we don't always have a babysitter handy. However, we make the best of what we have and plan ahead so that we can spend time with each other. I'm so happy that we had 3 days of "our time" and no kids. We missed the kids though and it was nice when we finally saw them again. They missed us too but they were really good to their grandparents and we are so happy about that.
We stayed in a hotel that had a spa and were very blessed to get a massage. It was exquisite...absolutely awesome. I felt so relaxed after the Swedish massage that I wanted to sleep. Of course I am not doing the spa any justice because it is so hard to describe every detail to you. All I can say is that it was truly an experience!
We ate at Timpano's in Las Olas and we really enjoyed ourselves. We had to get dressed up, not too fancy (no suit for men but a nice shirt and tie). It was incredible. We had reservations but we arrived 30 minutes before our time and they seated us 15 minutes after we arrived. The whole time they apologized that our table was not ready, are you kidding? We were the ones that were early but they were really classy about everything they did. The women staff wore black dresses and the men staff wore black and white. We sat in a very cozy booth and quite romantic too. The whole dining room had the lights turned down really low and then each table had a candle. I loved the ambiance of the place. They also had a band playing and the food was phenomenal. It is an Italian bistro but they are also famous for their steak which we ordered and loved. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and also intend to go back there too. The next night we tried P.F. Chang's with some friends and enjoyed it too. The food and the company was awesome.
We also spent some time with our family. One of Greg's cousins asked us to be godparents for their son and so we went to the Christening while we were there. It was a nice way to spend our Easter and we are happy that we were able to see our family. The kids also enjoyed their time with the family. I'm going to have to post some pictures.
