There are certain moments in life where we all just get to slow down, appreciate and relax! This past weekend, Adolfo and I were pretty caught up on the busyness of life, although he still has his summer class, he still let me be excited about a weekend all to our selves, lol, or so we thought!
Friday night we had a coupon for Chipolte, so I got my weekend to-do list done Friday evening, and then we headed to dinner.....I felt like college kids all over again, dressed in our work-out best, lol, no make up and out the door, it was such a nice, relaxing, low-key dinner! I told him I wanted to take him somewhere special on Saturday.....it was somewhere I'd been trying to take him for awhile, it just never worked out.
Adolfo thought it was time we went canoeing, we go every summer, and we hadn't been, so he said we should get up early and head to the park! One thing I love about my husband is he doesn't wait a moment, mornings are BEAUTIFUL, but I am the worst at getting myself up and out of bed, I blame it on the fact that I can't see when I open my eyes, so I'd rather stay in bed, lol. But I was so excited, and ready for a fun day ahead!
Saturday, we woke up early and headed downtown! It amazes me how many people had already started their day, at that hour, it got me energized!!! Don't you just love our beautiful city?
Haha, this picture was taken at the end of our trip, but It is the only one I had of us together canoeing, aren't the colors pretty?
What we've learned from the past 2 years, Adolfo sits in the back of the boat, me in the front. I am horrible at steering the canoe, and it doesn't make for a pleasant trip, lol, so I sit in the front and enjoy, take pictures, lol, and forget that I too need to paddle,....but the turtles, fish, people watching is so distracting for me, lol, I think Adolfo had to re-focus me a hundred times....
His approach, splashing me with freezing cold water! See he looks so sweet, and innocent, but he's really using the paddle to splash water on me, don't let his sweet face fool you!
I LOVE our morning canoe rides, it is so quiet, and peaceful! No stress, no traffic, no worries, just us, the sunshine, and dreaming with my husband....you know, me: Babe, look at that house, it's BEAUTIFUL, ah...one day! Adolfo: Those windows must be horrible to clean, so many bugs, lol.....oh, let a girl wish!After our 2 hours on the water, we needed to be refreshed, so Adolfo and I walked around the park, and we found a little cafe with Snow cones, YUM! Note: All fun events downtown at the park require cash only, don't come without cash, parking, canoeing, and snow cones, lol....
So we decided to have a morning snow cone, I mean we are adults, we can do that, lol! Adolfo's was way better than mine, so he shared.... I loved the bright yellow color and the wonderful pineapple flavor, we will definitely be going back!
After we sat in the park for awhile we decided it was lunch time. If you know my husband, you know his love for Pizza, over a $$$$ Dinner anyday.....one day during work I was introduced to this little pizza place on SOCO, after I tried it I was convinced I would get a World's Greatest Wife hug and kiss if I took him there, so FINALLY I got to treat him to a surprise lunch at Homeslice on SOCO.....they have awesome New York style pizza, oops or "Pies"!
It was so fun, we watched them make all the pies, dough flying in the air, great bar tender who helped us capture this wonderful moment in a picture, lol!
I think by this time, Adolfo was like Babe, enough with the camera, lol, but I quickly reminded him that in 50 years, when we are sitting together, with all our beautiful little grand-babies and looking at old photos, they too can enjoy your first Homeslice experience....haha, you can thank me then!
Adolfo had plans to spend the rest of the weekend studying, so I decided to make a trip home just to hang out with my Mom. When busy season comes around I miss not getting to just go to my parents and relax, so yes, I went last weekend, but I you never can get enough of home! My Mom and I relaxed and watched movies.
After church, we spent the afternoon window shopping on main street in Fredericksburg. We ended it with a nice ice cream at the bakery, and just resting our feet, lol! It was so nice to get a special day with my Mom. We ended our trip visiting my Grandma, she had surgery this past week, so we stopped by to check on her, surprise her with some pretty pink roses, and just visit.
These are the weekends, we live for, filled with all the things that matter the most!
