It was just 28 hours...

but we had a great time! We have been pretty busy around here with everyday life. I was glad to have some time all to myself with Dean this past weekend. We are so thankful we get to do this every once in a while! After church Sunday we went to VA Beach. I wasn't quite for sure where we were going or what our plans were. Dean kind of took care of that part and surprised me. When we got here

My special delivered breakfast Monday morning...fresh chocolate milk and a cinnamon bun!

And Dean, I vote for more of these dates!
