Horseshoe Bay Getaway!

Ryan and I took our first vacation since the babies were born. We went to Horseshoe Bay for a few days and left the babies with my parents. It was SO hard to leave them for that long but we survived by watching the videos that my mom texted me. One night I even started crying in the middle of dinner, just by looking at a picture of Addison wrapped in her towel after her bath! Now that it is done, it will be easier to do it again(even though I don't want to). I've learned that we all just need a break sometimes just to get away and clear our minds(and sleep in)!!

One thing I don't like about traveling alone is that you don't have anyone to take pictures of you...therefore I only have a couple of pictures of Ryan playing golf!! He played the back 9 holes of the Apple Rock course. The views from that course are unbelieveable! Unfortunately it poured rain pretty much the entire time, but luckily I had my umbrella. I was his "cart girl", so I drove and never had to get out into the drizzle! Ryan was absolutely soaked when we were finished, but never the less we had a good time.Ryan playing his first hole.

We also went jet skiing for a couple of hours on Friday before the rain started. It was freezing...maybe that was why we were the only people on the entire lake! We are both so competitive that our main goal is to try to throw each other off as violently as possible. I threw Ryan off first, 2 times. Once he screamed like a little girl and we both sat in the water and laughed so hard we couldn't breathe or swim back to the jet ski. After that, he threw me off 2 times, but not as good as I threw him!! We just enjoyed spending time together. We talked to a realtor about buying a lot on the lake(not knowing that empty waterfront lots start at $500,000). We want to buy a lot and eventually build a house on it...but YIKES...not for that kind of money! So we hope to buy a condo on the resort within the next year instead! That way we can take the girls and families with us and not have to worry about bothering any hotel guests.

All in all it was a great trip. I wish it hadn't rained but at least we got away. I felt like we were first dating again. It seems like the only things we talk about these days are who needs to be changed, fed or put to sleep! It was nice to actually have a normal conversation with my husband again!
