Birthday Getaway

It seems like this summer has been fast and crazy.  Last year we sold our motorhome, thinking we would go back to a trailer.  We wanted something with more room and that we could leave when exploring an area.  We found a beautiful trailer with a slide out that fits our family very comfortable.  As things don't always go as you would like, first we found out it was a 2009 and not a 2010 as we had been informed.  Then we had to replace the tires.  But after all was said and done it was still an amazing deal.

Next we were unsure wether our current vehicle could handle the added weight.  We finally took it on its maiden voyage -to us-  in June. It did fine but we weren't real comfortable with how it did.  So, we began the search for a vehicle big enough for our family and powerful enough to handle our lovely trailer.  Finally, after some very diligent search we found the vehicle.  What better excuse for a trip then a birthday.  David has been amazing in finding us good vehicles and the trailer with very good deals.... so I took his birthday weekend as a reason to try out the new set up.

With temperatures in the hundreds here, the mountains weren't all that much cooler.  I found us a cute little rv park with hookups that allowed us to use our air conditioner in the trailer to it's fullest.  It was just the two of us and we enjoyed our time away.  The mountains were beautiful and peaceful.  I highly recommend married couple getaways.  Things can get so wrapped up in kids that time alone overnight it so very nice.

David enjoyed his get away present and I even got to be blessed with a get away also.  The day we got back home we celebrated his birthday with family and pizza.  We feel so blessed to have such a loving family and a huge thank you once again to my mom who not only watched our kids but made sure they also had a great weekend, Love you Mom.

Most importantly Happy Birthday to my Amazing hubby and may God richly bless you!!!

Have a great day.
Alicia
