A Day Long Date

Thankfully everyone was healthy on Friday and went to school.  My sweet, brave friend Leigh volunteered to pick my kids up from school and keep them overnight.  I headed to St. Augustine to meet up with Andy at his company's Customer Appreciation Event.  We stayed at the Casa Monica which is absolutely beautiful.

We took a shuttle with some other GWRR employees and customers to  the TPC at Sawgrass.  I have never been there before, but Andy's been there a number of times.  We had a good time just spending the day together, people watching, golf watching, eating, drinking, etc.

We had a great time - just the two of us, no kids, no work, etc.

We hung out here at the famous 17th hole for awhile.

Isn't the clubhouse beautiful?

We took a shuttle back to St. Augustine and walked around town a bit then got ready for dinner at the White Room which is a beautiful roof top banquet facility.  It was a gorgeous night to look out over the marina and have a glass of wine.

After the work function was over, Andy & I decided to continue our "date" by heading over to the Tini Martini Bar just a few blocks north.  I have noticed this place a few times and at Christmas it was decorated so beautifully, that I knew we needed to stop here without our kids along.  You can sit out along the sidewalk and enjoy the sea breeze and watch the people, horse drawn carriages, traffic and boats.

Isn't this place just adorable?

We had a fabulous time together.  Andy's been traveling so much these days that I treasure those moments just the two of us.  Thankfully the kids had a blast with their friends too!  It was Sissy's first sleepover with friends and she did great.
