Sebastien and I are going away for a getaway, just the two of us, this weekend. I am super excited.
This is a trip I thought about a lot when he went to California to work at
Saintsbury winery for three months, three weeks after our wedding. If this is the first you are hearing of him
working in the Napa Valley, my apologies. Let's just say that it was a great learning experience for him. For me - well, let's just say that I am happy he is back, and we aren't going to do that long of a stint again (at least not right after the high, high emotions of getting married!).
While he was gone, I thought a bit about the two of us going away to reconnect a bit, and have some relaxation time together. As it often goes, though, we put off the weekend because there were so many things to catch up on, around the house, with our friends, and in our lives.
So suddenly it is Christmas, and so I give Sebastien a weekend away voucher.
And so this weekend, as a "Welcome Back from California"/"Merry Christmas" present, I am taking him on a secret (not so secret) weekend vacation. He knows we are going away but doesn't know where. He did figure out we will be in Canada, though.... He was nervous about me leaving the country (I am waiting for renewal work-papers right now), and I didn't want him to worry about it, so I told him that yes; it was a lie when I said we needed passports.
I will tell you though - I think it is going to be nice and relaxing. I am very excited for the down time. Life around here has been
hectic lately, to say the least!
I will be sure to upload pictures when we get back!
