Reality Bites

Do you remember that movie?  It was a classic 90’s movie, complete with Winona Ryder.

Also, it came out 20 years ago.  Let the feeling-old feelings commence.

 

Reality does kind of bite right now though, mostly because of this.  And just a little because Tim and I recently returned to reality, after an amazing time in Key West.

(MAJOR shout-out to my MIL and my BIL for hanging out with our three monkeys while we took in some ocean time)

This trip was planned a while ago and this was our first real vacation by ourselves in about 2.5 years.  It was much needed for both of us and the time away was truly divine.

We had never been to Key West before but we decided this will most certainly not be our last trip.  This small island is packed with things to do and see.  Blue Heaven makes THE best Eggs Benedict EVER. The roosters and chickens are walking around you while you eat so I assume it has something to do with the freshness of the eggs. 😉

Plus, riding around the whole island on a scooter together was a blast!

Adult-only pool time, a couple’s massage ON the beach, a jet ski tour, hammock lounging to the sound of the waves,  plane aerobatics (for Tim, NOT me!), shopping and eating yummy food…

Turns out “island time” is my favorite time.

And so is time with just Tim and me together.  Of course I love our family time too with the kids, but “getting away from it all” was just what we needed right now.  You simply cannot put a price on time to reconnect and be together as a couple.

 

Anyway, I will let the photos tell the rest of the tale…

 

And to Tim: Thank you for whisking me away, my love.
