Just Relax

What a weekend this was! It didn't start out so great because Kyle was sick all day on Friday. Poor guy slept most of the day, good thing we had no plans for Valentine's Day haha.

By Saturday morning he was feeling so much better and we headed off for our getaway to Albuquerque. It was a short 3 hour drive but it was beautiful for sure. When we got there we had lunch and then headed off to the aquarium, botanical gardens and zoo. We had an amazing just walking around and enjoying the gorgeous 70 degree weather.


Afterwards we checked into our hotel and took in the sites. I didn't take many pictures but it was absolutely gorgeous, even parts of it were decorated for Valentine's Day! We lounged around before we headed off to dinner at a rooftop steakhouse called Embers, it was amazing! 

After dinner we decided to have a little fun and gamble. Kyle let me pick the machines and we walked out of there with an extra $170 in our pockets, not too shabby if you ask me lol. We ended the night with ice cream and the Olympics. 



We headed home yesterday morning but not before enjoying a yummy room service breakfast. This is just what we needed and it was so nice to just relax and enjoy each others company.

 I have plans to do a little shopping today before Kyle's bowling league tonight, since we are already getting 70 degree weather it's time for summer clothes haha.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

  3. I'm glad Kyle felt better and you could enjoy your weekend! Albuquerque sounds awesome!! We might take a trip there when we go visit San Antonio next to see friends there. And leaving with a good amount of money sounds awesome, a profitable vacation :-) Have a great week, Jen!
