Perfect 15 Hours

Last night F and I dressed up and headed out to Blue Hill. This place is AMAZING and everyone should eat there once before dying. Tía D was kind enough to stay with the crazy babies (they now stand in the crib and laugh, A raspberrying me to boot) while MoJo went to Tiemann. Tía C relieved Tía D later in the night while we were in for the meal of a lifetime. Not only was the meal incredible (I will do a play by play of that tomorrow), but our dear friends bought us a bottle of wine (surprise!) as an anniversary gift. Abuela S gave us cash as well helping to defray the amazing meal followed by a lovely stay at an Inn on a huge estate in Tarrytown. The meal was punctuated by beautiful cards (and gifts) from F, who does not understand the concept of saving money, skipping fancy gifts etc. We got to the inn late, pleasantly satisfied from the delicious wine and incredible food. We slept with no children nearby (M told my mother "finally my parents can have a night alone!") and even though I woke up really early (and had to pump or die), I went back to sleep and woke up at 8:51am! This time is like saying 2pm for normal people. Amazing. We were only gone for 15 hours, but it was an amazing parenthesis to our fast paced life. I am very grateful to all of the people who helped make this break possible and even more indebted to the forces that brought F and I together. Thank you Sam I am. Ti amo!
