weekend getaway

We are currently enjoying some fun in the sun in Orlando. Here is a look a back at some fun we had last month!

Honey-Do had a big milestone in April. I decided to surprise him with a weekend getaway! In the end I wasn’t able to surprise him with the fact that we were actually going away to do something, but I did manage to keep the destination and the itinerary under wraps. He hates surprises but I think he was pretty happy as the trip unfolded.

We headed to New Paltz, NY. Our first stop was straight to our B & B. I fell in love the second I turned on to the B & B’s road. It was gorgeous with ponds in both the front and backyards, green grass all around, and mountains towering in the North. Exactly our kind of place. Not to mention that it was new, updated, clean, and the Innkeepers were so welcoming!

For the first night we had dinner reservations at the Culinary Institute of America in New Hyde. I really wanted to taste their very casual–farm to table, student run restaurant. It wasn’t the best meal we have had but the experience was so worth it.

The next morning we slept in, actually we didn’t but it was nice not to have to rush out bed.  We enjoyed an amazing breakfast at the Inn and then we headed out for a bike ride across the Hudson River.

The long bike ride was something we hadn’t done since before the babies came along. It was really nice. Nice to be together doing some of the old things we loved.  We look forward to getting the girls out on these bike rides with us.

After our bike ride we hit the 80 mile Shawagunk Wine Trail: Pasta Primo Vino Tour. Although we didn’t make it to all of the wineries, we enjoyed most of them. The country side was beautiful. It was our first ever wine tasting tour.  The wine was refreshing and the pasta yummy but the best part was enjoying the views from the mountainsides.

This was our kind of trip. The kind of things we enjoy doing. We missed our girls so much but it was so nice to get away. As a couple. Relaxing, talking, just enjoying the moment.  Happy birthday Honey-Do. I love you and look forward to many more.

ps—I am a little late with some of my posts but I hope you will still enjoy them. My excuse–life in the fastlane of toddlers. 🙂
