Marriage retreat

So this weekend Chris and I went on an army sponsored marriage retreat in Hilton Head Island, SC. They paid for the hotel, dinner Friday, breakfast and lunch Saturday and then had a class on Saturday morning. They only did one session and had childcare on Saturday night for those who brought their kids with them. All of this to help couples learn how to relate better. The class was basically a video called "Laugh your way to a better marriage". I completely recommend it after just watching a few hours of it. Besides being so funny I was dying laughing, it was beyond true. Everything the man said was so true it was uncanny.

Friday night the dinner wasn't good so Chris and I grabbed a pizza. We had been invited by others to go out clubbing and drinking, but that is not our style. We hung out in our room, ordered chocolate cake and cheesecake from room service, and watched a movie on the tv.

Saturday we ate breakfast, went to the class, and then ate lunch. After lunch we rented bikes from the hotel and went riding and sight seeing a bit. It was so fun! We really enjoyed it, even if we were both very rusty when it comes to riding bikes. After that we went swimming and walked along the beach. I got crazy sunburn but it was completely worth it. That evening we went to dinner at an Italian place and hit up some miniature golfing. We just overall enjoyed spending time together.

Sunday we slept in a bit! Woohoo 9 am. We ate breakfast, and then had a couple's massage! It was Chris's first massage ever and it was great. Then we drove home. And now we are home with our awesome family. We had a great time and really needed the time away but we really did miss our girls.
