Went to Charleston this past weekend for our 9 year wedding anniversary!

Got us a room at the Charleston Place hotel (the same place we stayed on our wedding

night).  Nice place-Just not $500 a night nice!  It was symbolic, so the price didnt matter.

We left Erin with our friends for the night.  This was the first time Christal and I spent the

night without Erin.  Christal managed not to cry at all during dinner, but when we called

around 9pm to do our goodnight call-she managed to get thru the phone conversation

without crying.  As she hung up the phone-tears came down her cheeks.  Anyone who is a

parent can certainly relate!  It was good to have a night where we could wake up

whenever we wanted to.  Without the yelling of “mommy” or “daddy” coming from the

room at the end of the hallway.  For the record-I’m pretty sure Erin had the time of her

life and probably didnt miss us at all! lol  Our friends have a 3 year old, lots of toys and a

big screen TV with lots of Dora videos!  It was good to have an adult conversation with my

wife.  Even though 90% of the conversation was about Erin.  Funny how that works huh?
