vday recap - eureka springs

My hubby once again showered me with love for Valentine’s day. This was our 3^rd Valentine’s day together and our 1^st one as a married couple. Jimmy was out of town last week for work and got home before me on Friday. So not only did I get home excited to see my hubby but I also walked into a beautiful bouquet of pink flowers…..awww. He was there and of course after lots of hugs and kisses after being away for a week he told me the plans he had made for the weekend.

Our weekend started with a date night on Friday – we went out for a nice dinner and hit up a movie (one of the favorite things to do). We saw “Just Go With It” and it was hilarious – we both laughed a lot and enjoyed it, I would definitely recommend it.

Then Saturday morning we got up at a decent time, packed our bags and hit the road to Eureka Springs, AR. Eureka Springs is a place we’ve talked about going to for a weekend away for a long time and had never gotten around to it. We were told it was a lot like the town of Asheville, NC that we both love (and where we got engaged) – and it was. We enjoyed breakfast on the road and the beautiful views along the hour and a half or so trip to Eureka Springs. Once we got there we drove around downtown a little bit to see what it had to offer before locating our hotel, which was also downtown, and getting checked in. We checked into our hotel and ventured out to do some shopping and grab lunch. It was an awesome day, about 55 degrees, but they had just recently got a bunch of snow so it made things a little slippery and very wet. Of course I didn’t wear the right shoesJ so Jimmy was holding onto me the whole time afraid I was going to fall. We popped into a few stores and hit up a local pizza place for lunch before heading back to our hotel to get ready for our couples massages! I absolutely LOVE getting massages and hadn’t had a prenatal massage yet so it was definitely a treat. Our hotel had a spa in it and Jimmy had made us afternoon appointments. After our massages we went back to our room, relaxed for a while, then got ready for our dinner date. Dinner was included in our weekend package so we were able to head upstairs to the hotel restaurant for a yummy dinner and dessert to go. We spent the rest of the night hanging out in our room, enjoying being together, and remember our previous Valentine’s day datesJ

Then Sunday we got home, grabbed some breakfast and headed home. It was nice to get home at a decent time on Sunday and be able to get some things done around the house as well. So, we had a great Valentine’s day weekend enjoying each other’s company and realizing that it will be our last one as a family of 2. Which means next year we will have to twist the grandparents arm to take her for the weekend or haul her around with usJ
