Going Back to Cali

Our family just got back from a week in California. Jared and I went away for 3+days for our tenth anniversary without the kids. The time away was awesome and always needed, but wasn't without drama. Jared was sweet and planned for 3 days of sun and fun (2 days in San Diego, and 1 at Universal Studios) that didn't happen as planned. The first day we went to Sea World and had a blast. No diapers, whining, or badly needed naps to interrupt the day. Just time together. Except Jared forgot to factor in the fact that I am freakishly white and burn immediately in any sun exposure. Since The trip destinations were a surprise to me, I wasn't prepared for what was to come. Needless to say that 10 hours later I was so burned that my hair was sticking to my blistered ears and I looked like a messed up raccoon from wearing sunglasses all day. Make-up was no help and i got stares the rest of our trip. We even cancelled our 3rd day plans to go to Universal Studios and shopped and saw movies instead. I still had fun being able to just be Jared's wife and not mom for the 3 days. After we had a great 4th of July with all our family at my parents' house and even left Madelyn and Carson at Ma's house for a couple weeks. Jared and I returned home with the 2 little ones and wait for the other to to come back. But we are both still itchy and peeling from our leftover matching burns. Definitely unforgettable!!!
