My husband and I took a little mini vacation all by ourselves for our six year anniversary! I was so excited for a little break and time alone with Nick.

I lasted one night, then I started missing them really bad. You know, the two little people always at my side. Everything we did seemed like things they would love to do! Camping, hiking, eating…okay I know, they were probably eating without me.

I did have fun though and it was really good to have some time alone with Nick! We do not have a babysitter, so time alone only happens when family comes to visit us or we visit them. I really need to change that!

We went camping down at Robbers Cave State Park for two nights, beautiful park. We love hiking down there!

I want my backyard to look like this! Someone else needs to do all the work though.

Hello beautiful light! I want to insert a bride right in the middle of this! Brides like to wade into dingy water in their wedding dress, right?

This made me think I had entered an enchanted forest.

When we finally got to put the tent up it was dark already. It took us 30min-1hr to figure out how to pay. I might have pouted a little bit about missing the sunset on the lake, I wanted to take pictures!

So when we(by we I mean Nick) finished putting up the tent, we(Nick again) noticed that the rain tarp was missing. Then I remembered seeing it at the house. I love how I remember things like that. You know, when it is not helpful.

At least it did not rain!

I actually enjoyed getting to fall asleep looking at the stars but the no privacy thing was a little different. You could see right into the tent since most of it was just the netting.

We got up and started hiking around six am Saturday, beautiful light! That is the only thing that can get me up that early on vacation. Well that, and the promise of a really hot day.

Later that night we, get this…went to a movie theater! You know that thing where you watch a movie with a group of people you don’t know and pay too much for cheap food! I did not know these were still in existence!

I think the movie could have totally bombed and I still would have enjoyed it! It has been that long since I have been.

It was a great weekend and I was so happy to pick up my two little men! They on the other hand, did not want to go home…
