A Day Away

Driving up to Farmington yesterday, Nick said to me, "I think this is what has been missing from our marriage".

See, when you have kids, you kinda forget to have time off.  You know, just you and your spouse.  Well, my wonderful mommy to watch Tristan any Saturday we wanted to give us some time alone before Baby A gets here.  And we took her up on her offer yesterday, and went to the reptile show, something Nick has been wanting to do for several months.

It's amazing how fast an hour and a half drive is when there isn't a screaming toddler in the back seat.  Of course, then I feel like this horrible mommy relishing in the fact that my child is not with me, but!  It's like Nick said, we need this time away.  And we'll probably do it a few more times while we have the chance.

The show was a lot of fun; it was neat to see what all the different breeders had, all the cool and colorful critters.  They had some massive and bright yellow snakes, lots of dart frogs, geckos and tarantulas.  And there was a sheepdog agility show going on right outside the building as well that we got to see part of, so that was kinda cool.  Then we stopped at TGI Friday's for lunch, took our time driving home, stopping at a few places for fun, and just enjoyed a day out together.

Thank you mommy for watching Tristan!  He had a great day as well!
