Nick and I took a much needed, fabulous weekend vacation to San Francisco to visit friends that will soon be moving. We kept saying we were going to go forever, then it finally came down to it and we said let's go!! We really needed it and justified doing it for a grad present for me. It was really a great time. We flew in Thursday night and came back home Sunday night. We left kids. It was hard, but it was so nice to just go go go without worrying about naps and snacks and not carrying a loaded diaper bag. Our friends are such a blast and toured us around all weekend to their favorite restaurants and sites. We loved being with them and having a few days to just be "Nick and Chels" and to talk without interruption. I love my kids more than my own life, but it was nice to holds hands and not rush and to talk and just be there with my sweetheart and rejuvenate the ol' marriage. We're almost at 8 years and we still want to be together and enjoy each others' company. Thanks Liz and Mike (and Max and Maggie!). We love you!!!
