So, to recover from my non-vacation, Seth's parents came out to visit last weekend and we got to go away and spend a night in Coronado, at the Hotel Del! It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G to have 24 hours without children -- we got a super fantastic massage, had a delicious dinner courtesy of Marshall -- thank you Papa! -- and slept 9 HOURS STRAIGHT! I didn't wake up until 8 a.m. Wow! It was great. Then we had a great breakfast and I took a nice, hot bath before we checked out of the hotel.
It was so relaxing I felt like I was drugged the rest of the weekend, til Monday afternoon. I just could not "wake up". I guess that's my body telling me I'm too tired from getting 5-6 hours of interrupted sleep every night for the past 7 months, in addition to child care and as much tango as I do. Go figure. Unfortunately, while Oma took charge of the kids Monday -- my last chance for freedom! -- I went into exile (reading out at the pool) for a little too long and got FRIED! I have a terrible, excruciatingly painful, probably 2nd-degree sunburn all over my body. Small price to pay for being along all afternoon, right?
We relaxed so much while on vacation, I didn't even bother taking a picture. But last June, Darlene stayed with the kids for a night while we visited Coronado. We didn't stay at the Del that time, but took a picture outside it, so I thought I would finally post that. (Thanks Dar!) I'm sooooo relieved that I didn't look like that this time around! And thank you, thank you Oma and Papa! Mama needed the break! Ready to come back yet??? :D

I'm so jealous! I want to go back to Coronado so badly. That is awesome you stayed at the Del. Were you in one of the haunted rooms? :)
Lol! No Liz, just a regular old room. :) But it was nice!!!
I love that hotel! I've actually never stayed in it but, I love looking in their art gallery. Do they still have it? It is so important to get away every once in awhile without kids, just you and the hubs. Wish I could do it once a month!
You are welcome! (for last year that is) Glad you got your much needed rest and relaxation. Can't wait to see you guys!
I'm glad you got a nice break. You deserve it!
