Wedding Anniversary Night Out

It was a time to relax away from at least one of our children. We have had offers for Jacob to spend the night away from us, but we just haven't felt like giving him up at all yet. We decided that a night out for our anniversary would be a good thing for all of us. Timing was just right for Amy's school as well because this week is her winter break.

The outing started off with Aunt Abby picking Jacob up from the hotel. Jacob's mom did amazingly well as I didn't see her shed a tear... this time... ;)! It was definitely difficult to get her mind off of our little man, but a trip to the store to get some adult drinks and bubble bath eased her minded enough to be able to relax. Most of the night was spent hanging out at the motel with the exception of heading to downtown Ann Arbor for a bite to eat and a stop to an infamous ice cream spot.

A night without the need to wake up in the middle of it or without the possibility waking up was a great feeling. Well, the night didn't go off without an interruption. At 1:00 am, we heard a pounding on our door. Who the heck is beating on our door? Amy thought my phone didn't ring what is wrong with Jacob, I thought, did the tub leak or is there something else going on. I opened the door to find a high school aged girl asking for Dustin. She was dressed up with caked on make-up. I quickly told her that she had the wrong room and closed the door. Amy was able to get back to sleep pretty quickly, but then I was up because the adrenalin was flowing...

Jacob had a great time spending it at his grandma's house. It turned out being a slumber party with his two cousins too! They all slept together while downgrading grandpa to the pull out couch... It was a nice relaxing night for us as well.
