Thanks to one of Charlie's coworkers, we were able to go on a date last night to celebrate the last 10 YEARS that we have been dating. It was an awesome night at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, which has gondola rides - how cool is that?! We started the evening by riding around the canal and listening to the gondolier singing a beautiful Italian song to us. The we headed to the wood-fired restaurant for some margarita's (pomegranate/prickly pear and strawberry/peach - delish!), fresh guacamole and fried zucchini sticks... then we risked it all and went swimming in the hotel's huge outdoor jacuzzi. I'm sure it was just for guests, but how can they keep track of everyone in a 2.5 acre water garden?!

It was such a fantastic night, which was almost cut short because the boys are getting sick and we didn't know if we should leave them or not... but they slept the whole time we were gone and we came back refreshed and recharged.
