Brian and Catherine picked us up last week for a full seven days down in the Keys. We drove through the night and arrived at 9 a.m. and did whatever we wanted to! We slept in, ate when we wanted to (or when Catherine was hungry :) ) laid at the pool and just plain relaxed. I told Catherine that this was my most relaxing trip I have ever taken. We weren't worried about sippy cups, if we had enough snacks, or where the diapers and wipes were, we just swung in the hammocks and worked on our tans. Our favorite places were watching the sunset at Morada Bay, cooling off at Sloppy Joes in Key West, feeding the tarpon at Robbie's Marina, and going out on a boat to fish (Shane was the only one to catch anything during the eight hour excursion!). We were able to everything we wanted to do. Catherine and I even went on a snorkeling trip on our last day. It was the first time that I had ever done it and I can't wait to try it again!
I thought that I would miss Dax more than I did, but I knew he was in good hands! When we got home, he didn't even care to give us a hug. He just just smiled and wanted to go after Bell!
It was nice for Shane and I to get away, but we mostly talked about Dax, our family, and our great friends. We reminisced about a time before Dax and marriage. It is interesting how fast your life can change and how quickly a short trip can put things into perspective for you! I highly recommend going away and I can't wait to get to do it again and reminisce about the new the adventures that are sure to come!
