Together Time

So our trip to the mountains was postponed due to weather. Or the threat of weather. It was a little on the crummy side at home and we had seen some unhappy looking forecasts for the mountains region so we thought we'd try another time. Next weekend is a three day weekend, and we'll have the kids too. Maybe that's the time we'll shoot for. Any later than that and we run the risk of missing the colors.

So what to do instead? On Saturday we had my niece's first birthday party so we planned around that. On Sunday we had nothing. I suggested we stay home and cook a nice dinner and relax and spend some quiet time interrupted occasionally by me flipping the laundry. (Sunday is becoming the official laundry day.)

Jen suggested beef stew. Something that takes all day to cook that we can both work on together. Beef stew turned into beef stew and bread, which turned into beef stew and bread and a cake, which turned into beef stew and bread and a cake and Tewksbury Tweets.

We spent the day together being wonderfully domestic. Cooking a big, involved dinner/dessert combo and watching hulu.com and cbs.com content streamed through our Playstation 3 and just enjoying being together. It turned into a very lovely day for the two of us on the day before our 30th Monthiversary. All of that following the birthday party fun on Saturday combined for a really great weekend.

Now we'll have to see if next weekend can top it. If only we could get next weekend here a little faster... like right now.
