Celebrating TEN Years in Delray Beach!

It's amazing how long a moment can last when you're in it, yet how quickly it went by once it's passed...  I know, deep thought.  But that's how I feel in hindsight thinking about our recent week long trip to Delray Beach, FL to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary.  We really did love every minute of it- relaxing on the beach, by the pool, or in our condo unit; enjoying the yummy food that this adorable, trendy little town had to offer; and just catching up on reading and talking!!!  It was a bit of a random choice in the location, just sticking with RCI time shares in the states with good reviews, but we are so thankful this is the place we landed on!  While it was hot, there was always a crisp breeze in the air, and the occasional rainstorms never put us out and only cut one beach outing slightly short.

Here's a recap in pictures of our trip! 

Ocean view from our balcony and where we had breakfast every morning

We were on the 2nd floor.  Right across the street was the beach!

Dinner at a Tapas Bar with awesome baba ganoush!

Overlooking the inter-coastal waterway, on the bridge we'd pass over to get into the downtown area.

What our beach time looked like :)  We did go in the water each time at least!

Chocolate chip pancakes one morning :)

One of our little "friends"- we saw dozens of these guys that week!

Beautiful water and beach!

Oh, what a special week it was!!!  We are so grateful it all worked out, and so grateful to my folks for making it possible for us- both for giving us the week of their time share AND for keeping our girl while we were away!  It was definitely strange to be without her for so long but we knew she was having a blast and keeping busy, and are SO thankful for texts and picture texts! :)  Another post to come shortly with her fun week!!!

Here's hoping there's another trip like this in our future after another wonderful 10 years... :)
