boca raton

at the beginning of the month ryan went to florida for a conference.  i wasn't planning on going cause a couple weeks later he and i were going to palm springs and i didn't want to leave the kids both times and that sunday i had to play for a musical number in our homeward sacrament mtg. and then teach the marriage class in the singles ward.  it was just too crazy.  but sunday morning ryan text me a picture of the hotel in florida and said, "you need to come, this hotel is amazing and the weather is perfect" so i said what the heck.  i will see if my mom can't babysit for a couple of days and see if i can make it work.  my amazing mother had nothing and wanted to watch the kids.  so sunday night i took a red eye and was in florida monday morning.  crazy, i know.

i have to say, my mom is the best.  she encourages us to go on couples vacations.  she never makes me feel like it's hard to watch the kids.  when i would call her (while i was in florida) she would say, 'i hope you are relaxing, don't worry about us."  she LOVES taking them.  she takes them to museums, out to eat, and lets them stay up watching movies.  i really don't know what i would do without her.

it was such a quick trip.  i got there monday morning and spent most of my time relaxing by the pool that day. the hotel was so nice and had many good places to eat i didn't need to go anywhere.  tuesday i got a massage in the morning at the spa and then ryan and i headed for the beach that afternoon.  the rock and zack efron where on our hotel beach filming the movie, baywatch.  there were so many papparazzi there it was pretty funny.  it was pretty cool to see a movie set up close and all the extras.  i'm not really a star struck kind of person so i didn't care that much, ryan and i had fun just relaxing on the beach and ordering food!  the conference had a fun party that night on the hotel golf course and then we got up wednesday morning and headed home.  i just love these little get aways.


but seriously, this hotel was gorgeous.  i felt like i was back in india
