Kaleb and I hadn't had a night away from the kids, besides our hospital stay, in about two years. Needless to say it was much overdue and we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend beachside relaxing, eating, and cuddling. It was heavenly and we smile every time we reminisce over it.
We stayed at the
Cambria Beach Lodge with our tiny third wheel Porter. He was a dream, really. He slept twelve hours a night, napped under an umbrella as we laid out in the sun, and it was fun for us to have time with just him. I know I get to bond with him a lot since he's dependent on me but Kaleb doesn't get that as much since he's flocked for the four older ones every time he sets foot in the door. We didn't mind his sweet little company one bit.
If anyone deserves a vacation, it's this guy! I don't think he had been this relaxed in at least a couple of years. He's been working so hard and it was so fun to see him truly relax and refresh. This was hands down our favorite spot at the hotel.
We spent most of Saturday laying up on the deck in the sun. We brought a bucket of ice filled with soda, an umbrella to shade the babe, and books to read in between napping and cuddling. This might sound pretty normal to most people but to us after having five kids it was heaven! We hardly ever get to relax so this was a treat.
We spent our last night at a fancy seaside restaurant. We got steak, wine, and dessert while the sun set. We got to watch whales jumping and popping up out of the water as we ate. It was such a fun memory.
We've got lots of memories stored up to make us smile and remind us of the refreshment we were blessed with. Until next time!
