A Special Day

Any day where I see Daniel more than 2 hours is special...but a day where we eat out? Now, that is soooo rare and unusual I feel like I must be dreaming!! Yup! Today was as special as it gets for me!

The boys & I went to the beach with some friends this morning and it was the perfect day for it. Of course, I was having fun and forgot to take pictures so I have no pics to post. That's a bummer. It was a beautiful day though. After a day in the sun, the three of us were exhausted and before long it was time for me to cook dinner. In walks my husband ready to save me!! Usually, he comes home right in time for dinner and walks out once the last bite is gone...but today he came home in time to stop me from cooking!! My knight in shining scrubs!!

He whisked us off to the Peg Leg Pub and it was a blast. It's not fancy so I didn't feel bad taking the kids and the food was pretty good for St Maarten. Not cooking is always fun, too. We had yummy steaks and had a good view of the lagoon. Now that hurricane season is ending the yachts are returning so we saw quite a few nice sailboats and yachts.

We watched rich yacht people ride in on little boats (like the one in the pic above) and 'park' at the private dock, which was pretty amusing. Seriously...how rich do you have to be to own or even rent a yacht? It makes you wonder...

The photo above is courtesy of my five year old!! JT offered to take a pic so that his Dad and I could both be in a picture together....sweet thing. He did a fantastic job! No cut-off heads or limbs!

The boys made friends with this sweet couple visiting from Connecticut. They were one table over and doted on the boys since they have grandchildren the same age. Well, if you know my kids, you know they love attention so the boys were pretty happy. That poor couple knows everything about us thanks to my talkative JT, who never knows when to leave people alone. He invited them over to play tomorrow!! haha.

Daniel is back at the library studying and the boys are in bed so it is just like any other night. But seeing my husband outside of the house was really great for my psyche!! I can't wait for Christmas break!
