I’m Leaving on a Jet Plane…

via

Tomorrow morning, Luke and I are getting up really early and leaving on a jet plane.  We are heading to a small island in the Caribbean to get away from it all.

Ten years ago, I married my best friend:

Our Wedding in Cornwall, May 2002

and A LOT of living has happened since then! We had a great time in Bristol, then a smashing time in London.  Quit our jobs and moved to the states.  A few years later we were lucky enough to have an amazing little boy.  A move to live near the sea.  Then several years later we were lucky enough to have another amazing little boy.  We rescued a dog named Poppy.  I started a little blog that has made me so happy.  I discovered some amazing paint and started making things.  We’ve travelled.  But up until now, we haven’t travelled sans kids…

Tomorrow we are leaving on a jet plane.  Me and my Mr. Darcy and we are going to have some R & R – away from the kids, the dog, work, technology and just be the people we were when we met 14 years ago.  So there will be no blog posts for a few days as I’ll be snorkeling, paddle boarding and learning to sail for the first time.  Oh, and catching up on all my reading.  It is so hard to read and look after two little ones on a beach (I’m bringing a stack of books with me).  But I’ll be thinking of you all from the sunny beaches of St. John:

Can’t wait to share some photos, and stories, when we return!
