We hopped in the car as soon as we saw the boys off. We wound up having lunch at On the Border. After that we came home to nap and just enjoy the quiet until Darren had to go to work. He just had to work for a few hours on Saturday night and I had planned on spending that time cleaning and organizing the boys rooms, but I did not get a single thing done. I spent the evening looking online at paint colors since I determined a while ago that the entire house was going to get painted this summer (bye bye builder beige, hello color!). It was so relaxing, but honestly I just felt sad and lonely without the boys (or Darren) home that evening which really caught me off-guard because I usually really enjoy my alone time.
On Sunday Darren and I woke up early and had breakfast at Mimi's Cafe. I love having breakfast at Mimi's and it had been way too long since we had been there! We spent most of the day shopping and had such a great time together. After shopping we came home, tried on all of our new clothes, freshened up and headed out for dinner. We went to TGI Friday's for steak (currently Darren thinks theirs beats out Outback and everywhere else in the steak dept!?!). We then toodled around Academy for a bit before coming home to watch a movie. We rented Just Go With It which was cute and funny. Darren thought he'd hate it, but I caught him laughing quite a few times. I think he liked it, but I know he'll never admit it.
We pretty much slept Monday morning away and then ran a few errands before the boys came home around 3. The kids had a great weekend and so did we! We needed it and in the future I won't hesitate to take a staycation again. I liked it so much better than leaving town. We had all the comforts and conveniences of home, but without the kids! It was wonderful, but {for the moment} I can honestly say that I'm glad to have a little bit of noise back in the house again!!!
