A Little Getaway

Every year for our anniversary we take a trip. Okay, our intention is to take a trip. We did well the first few years. We managed to do something every year until last year, and this year we wanted to get back on track and even try to take a trip without the boys. There were a few tears, I will admit, but it was SO worth it! We drove to New Braunfels for a couple of days. We were able to drive in the car, and...not...talk. We had some fabulous conversations, when we wanted to, and we finished them all! And we did a few somethings, and a whole lot of nothing. We wandered through Gruene, and looked through a bunch of shops without buying much. We were overwhelmed by the Schlitterbahn Christmas store. And we visited a couple of vineyards and did some wine tasting.

We had to take this picture for Travis. He was never far from our thoughts, and we knew he would appreciate this.



And we take a picture on our trip every year that we put in a special picture frame to remember the time. This was on the porch of our bed and breakfast. We learned how to use the timer on the camera. This was attempt number 5 I think. It was a short trip, but just what we needed. It was so good to talk with Randy just to talk, and not for planning or sharing information. I am beyond blessed by Randy, and it's times like this that bring those feelings back to the surface.
