Our Mini-moon!

No, I'm not talking about baby bums. Spencer's last weekend here, he surprised me by whisking me away to some Mayan ruins. Yes, and they exist right here in Rexburg. About a mile down the road, at the AmericInn.

I thought Spencer was acting a bit . . . funny. We had discussed having a date night that weekend, just the two of us. I started urging him that we needed to find a babysitter, trying to figure out what we wanted to do, where to go, etc. He just kept saying, "Oh, we'll figure it out." It was Thursday night, I told him we needed to figure out something, fast! He finally caved and said that his mom was watching the kids and that, since we would probably be late, it'd be a good idea to pack their pj's, toothbrushes, etc.



Ok, good! I kept needling him for input on where we should eat, what we should do. He just said we'd 'go with the flow'. Whatever that means. Well, mid-afternoon on Friday afternoon hits, and he says to pack my bags, we're leaving! He'd arranged for his mom to pick the kids up and finally revealed that we were staying overnight somewhere! We drove a mile down the road and pulled into the AmericInn parking lot. Not very far, but hey, when we had leftovers from dinner and no fridge in the hotel room, we just drove back & put them in the fridge at home.



We stayed in the Mayan Ruins themed room. (and i discovered a fridge behind the door painted to look like a crumbling wall.) Fireplace, jacuzzi, king size bed, and a huge TV. To add more icing to the cake; Spencer got up early, picked up the kids and let me sleep in. I stayed all morning; had a leisurely breakfast, luxurious bath and precious alone time. I felt so pampered!
