Went to Charleston this past weekend for our 9 year wedding anniversary!  Got us a room at the Charleston Place hotel (the same place we stayed on our wedding night).  Nice place-Just not $500 a night nice!  It was symbolic, so the price didn’t matter.  We left Erin with our friends for the night.  This was the first time Christal and I spent the night without Erin.  Christal managed not to cry at all during dinner, but when we called around 9pm to do our goodnight call-she managed to get thru the phone conversation without crying.  As she hung up the phone-tears came down her cheeks.  Anyone who is a parent can certainly relate!  It was good to have a night where we could wake up whenever we wanted to.  Without the yelling of “mommy” or “daddy” coming from the room at the end of the hallway.  For the record-I’m pretty sure Erin had the time of her life and probably didn’t miss us at all! lol  Our friends have a 3 year old, lots of toys and a big screen TV with lots of Dora videos!  It was good to have an adult conversation with my wife.  Even though 90% of the conversation was about Erin.  Funny how that works huh?
