After 11 years I can finally say I have been on a honeymoon. I joined Aaron for the last two days of his latest conference in Baltimore, went to Ocean City Maryland for 2 days, then went to DC for a day.Our honeymoon top 10:
10. Eating meals I didn't have to cook
9. Walking around museums with Aaron (without kids!)
8. Going to an amusement park (without kids!)
7. Parasailing
6. Playing in the waves at the beach for hours (without kids!)
5. Not having to worry about my kids while I was doing all of these fun things. Thank you so much Mom for making their week as fun as mine (well almost).
4. Did I mention that I got to play with my husband at the beach for hours without having to worry about kids drowning, getting sand in their eyes, getting kidnapped or lost, annoying other beach goers, etc.?
3. Lazing around the hotel room in Baltimore for 1.5 days while Aaron was at his conference (without kids!)
2. Coming home to my kids. The only time I have left them in the past is to go have the next baby so this was a first for me and though I wasn't nearly as sad to be away from them as I feared I would be (I know, I'm terrible) I was literally bouncing in my seat excited to see them when we got back.
1. Spending 5 days with my sweetheart enjoying each other's company and remembering what it was like long ago when all we thought about was each other.
Thanks for the perfect honeymoon Aaron (I have started planning for our second honeymoon. I want to go to Hawaii this time. It should only take another 11 years to save the money for it.). YBEG

How fun! We live right between Baltimore and DC - maybe we passed you on the freeway at some point in your stay :) It sounds like even the heat/humidity we have been having here didn't dampen your fun weekend!
I am glad you had fun. I am trying to plan a trip like this for Jeff and I.
I wish I had known you were that nearby. I would have figured out a way to get to DC to see you!
Oh, that is so wonderful!! It is so important to have time to reconnect as a couple, and I'm glad you guys got this chance. Every set of parents need time away from their kids (no matter HOW much you love them!!) to regroup and bond as a couple. I'm so happy for you guys!
Good times! And good for you guys!
