David travels for work several times a year. Last July the kids and I accompanied him on a trip to Washington D.C. for a week and really had a great time seeing our nation's capitol and all of the sights. It was an amazing trip that we will all remember forever.
Here is a pic of The Tower as viewed from the River Walk.
As we were driving one day I spied these stained glass windows with Stars of David on them. We mistakenly assumed it was formerly a Synagogue. I researched the history of it and it was originally a gymnasium built by German Imigrants, then a USO during WWII when it was painted olive drab green and the windows covered, then a storage house for the Postal Service, then purchased by a man, the paint stripped and turned into one of the longest continually operating Gay Bars! The building is gorgeous, but the use bothers me just a tad.
Two weeks ago I accompanied him to San Antonio, Texas. No kids. Just us. It was almost like a second honeymoon...except he had to spend most of the day time hours at a conference.
I love the kids, don't get me wrong, but some days the role of custodial step mother weighs on me and I am wistful for those days of just me and my husband. I got my fill on our trip to Texas.
We spent a week in an amazing hotel right on the River Walk. We had a great view of The Towers of America (built for the 1964 World's Fair and resembling The Space Needle), the city lights and the River Walk.

Spending that time just as a couple was very renewing for us and really filled me back up to come home and once again be a full time mother to two children who sometimes need more than I think I am able to give or provide. My whole family benefited from our trip!

How fantastic for you and your hubby to get away. It's good to recharge. I'm beginning to realize how spoiled I really am to have every other weekend free of the kids.
