10 (official) years and counting...

Ron surprised me with my wedding bouquet!

For our 10th wedding anniversary we managed to have 5 relaxing days to ourselves. How do the parents of five find a way to get away? With lots of help from friends and family. 1st consideration, the aforementioned 5 children (3 of which who are under 1 - lest we forget). In flies Aunt Sarah to the rescue, while battling through the first trimester of her own pregnancy no less! With my Dad to help her and my Mom coming in for weekend relief, we knew the kids were in good hands. 2nd consideration is the mundane (though ever present) budget :( .

As it happens, friends of ours are currently living abroad and generously offered us their condo to stay in. While a mere mile away, it might as well have been Mars (with cocktails of course!).

We had a lovely time and played tourist in our own great city. Thanks to everyone that helped make this happen for us.
