Weekend getaways as a couple is not something we have been accustomed to in the past! Our trips have always consisted of family getaways with the kids or at least 1 kid. In August, we flew to Baltimore and visited Butch’s aunt before attending the wedding of one of Audrey’s closest friends where Audrey had the privilege to be her maid of honor. This fall we started to learn about getting away for the weekend, but that meant getting to go see Mason play football. Our getaway still involved one of the kids. We love those times!
Last weekend, we decided we would fly to Florida to spend our long weekend. Our first time for a kidless getaway! We are visiting Butch’s family that we have not had the opportunity to come visit in almost 2 years here in Florida. Some have been able to come celebrate graduations with us for the past two years which we have been so thankful for! This new journey in life sometimes feels awkward, but we are finding out that it is also fun and exciting! We are learning to be empty nesters.
A quick trip, driving a convertible for the weekend, visiting relatives, beautiful weather, gorgeous views, and great food makes for lasting memories!
