Wonderful Night

So Josh and I just got back from our first night alone since Sara was born 18 months ago. I am such a baby about leaving Sara overnight with someone but for our 5 year anniversary we decided to spend an evening at a hotel and enjoy so one on one adult company. It was a great night and I was really proud of myself that I only called my sister in law once:) Yea for me. Sara stayed overnight with Josh's sister and her cousin Emily who is just 5 months older than her. Sara had a great time and did really well. She slept all night and didn't even cry. It made me a little sad that she wasn't sad but that is just me being a silly mom and not wanting my baby to grow up.
Okay but this blog it to tell all of the moms that I know that you and your husbands need to take an overnight trip to the Chateau Avalon in Kansas City. It is not a cheap hotel but the themed rooms and two person jacuzzi tubs are awesome. Not to mention the Egyptian Cotton sheets that have to be like 500 thread count...totally soft...almost silky. The hotel give you a complimentary bottle of sparkling cider and breakfast in bed or where ever in your room you want to eat it. The hotel has 23 different themed rooms to choose from. It is also across the street from The Legends which is were the Cabelas and lots of great places to eat and shopping are. The rooms start at $100 a night and go up from there but trust me it is well worth the money and your sanity as a mom. We all need the chance to get away from our kids and just be a woman and enjoy adult time with our spouse without interruptions. Check it out at www.chateauavalonhotel.com
Josh and I have gone one other time on our 3rd wedding anniversary. We stayed in both the Colorado Frontier Suite and the Serengeti Suite. Both were beautiful rooms and the service was great.
Trust me you and your spouse will not regret it.
