Demetrius had a "vacation week" during the week of the 4th of July. My mom and his sister Angela came down to visit with us and also to keep the kids so Demetrius and I could have our first real get-a-way since we've had our kids. Can you tell I was excited?
We were able to stay in Orlando at a friend's house on the lake. They were out of state and so gracious in letting us pretend it was ours. It was fun to pretend and even more fun to just get away from the everyday diapers and sippy cups to enjoy some much needed and uninterrupted time together. We watched 5 different mini fireworks shows from the dock.
This is the front view of the house...it's an old house in a really cool neighborhood with HUGE old oak trees. I did my 6 mile run around their neighborhood and by Rollins College while we were there. Meanwhile, Demetrius watched a series about John Adams. We do have our differences!
Then, we played like two little children at SeaWorld's waterpark...Aquatica. We had a blast and were really thankful for the chance to do something fun. It's funny how you forget how to have fun because you're just so busy doing "stuff." I mean we have lots of fun moments with the kids but it was really interesting to be reminded that it is possible to have fun as adults.

So awesome that you got to go to Aquatica. I remember we talked about it in May when we visited. I'm glad you 2 had fun together.
so glad you guys had some time together. it makes you appreciate it all the more when those times are few and far between. and it recharges you for more diapers and sippy cups:).
