Day of Dates

Yesterday, Jeff's parents whisked our children off to the magical world of Pecos, where they will stay all week. No sooner had they pulled out of the driveway than Jeff and I began our dating frenzy. We had lunch at a neat little seafood place in Llano and then made our way to Marble Falls, where we went to a movie (Killers) and had a lengthy home building planning session in Home Depot. We then had dinner at a non-chain, very good Mexican food place outside of Kingsland. There was uninterrupted conversation, adult hand-holding, no spilled drinks, no crying or whining and no inconvenient potty stops. We do miss our kiddos when they are away, but we certainly enjoy the chance, every once in a while, to reconnect as a couple.
