These are the faces of two parents who are driving to the airport without their kids for a vacation in the sun.
Did I mention we were childless on this five-day trip?!
In the past five years, we have lived in four homes in three different countries, added three children to our family, completed one law degree, and received our first assignment with the Air Force. Everyone's journey looks different, but it was time for us to regroup.
And celebrate the past ten years of life, love, growth, adventure, and maturing together in marriage.
The kids were in more than capable hands with Kaye K and Big Daddy. And Nana was still in town to help, too! I will be forever thankful for the gift they gave in letting us take five days off to ourselves.
Corfu, Greece - here we come!
We drove on twisty roads up over the mountains of the island to get to our hotel. This was the first view we had of the beach where we stayed.
If you ever find yourself on Corfu, this place was a winner.
Our pasty white skin couldn't take a full day of sun!
remains of Angelocastro (Castle of the Angels)
the views from the hike to the castle were the best sight to see
Married dating is the best.
We thought about them every now and then. :)
Our favorite food from the trip. The woman in the window was making the best pita bread we've ever tasted.
Cheap, fresh, local, and delicious.
And then it was time to go home. And jump back in at full speed to normal life that hadn't stopped while we were away. It was exactly the trip we needed to take together. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for keeping the kids.

Gorgeous pictures! Few things are better than salty air, delicious/local food, and long conversations.
Are your parents for hire? :)
So glad you guys could get away.
Perfect. I remember when Jon's folks watched the girls while we went to Hawaii. Ahhhhh!
Oh man... I never even heard of this place before you mentioned it, and after seeing these pictures I want to vacation there! So glad you got the sunshine and warmth you were after, as well as some special husband and wife time. You deserve it!!
What a fantastic trip! So glad you got away!
Seriously just got my tear on. LOVE the photos. LOVE that you got a break. LOVE that your 10 years of marriage is a testimony to the beauty of having Christ at the center of a marriage. LOVE that you and your hubby are best friends. LOVE that you had amazing pita bread. LOVE the color of the water. SOOOOO AMAZING!
