La Quinta!!

My very thoughtful and generous husband decided to surprise me with a weekend away to the La Quinta Resort as an early birthday gift. Thankfully, he had it all planned out with my sister to come watch the girls, with the help of nama. I am so grateful for them!!!!

Here is me before our trip.....

And here is me later....

Awwww.....need I say more??

Our first stop was my all time favorite breakfast spot - The Avocado House! They have a caramel syrup there that is to die for, and has single handedly made us their number one fans!

And then we were off to enjoy the sun and pool, together....and did I mention there were no kids????

This location was perfect for us because we didn't have to leave at all. There were restaurants and stores right on the premises all within walking distance. Here I am getting ready for a date night :)

And here we are enjoying yummy Mexican food, my favorite!

The next morning we headed out to our day at the SPA!!!

For those who know me well, I'm not much of a spa girl...I never really have enjoyed massages, and I'm not too comfortable with barely any clothes on around people I don't know. But surprisingly, doing it all with Todd completely changed that. I really, REALLY enjoyed it! Who would have known?

And then.....as if in the blink of an eye, it was time to come home.

What a great weekend though! I am so glad we got the opportunity, and the kids seemed to enjoy it too. They were all great for my sister! In fact, the waitress said that they were the most well behaved kids she had ever seen! Really? My monkeys??? :) I think Deda must have the magic touch!!!! Hmmm....maybe we need to get away more often! (wink, wink)
