This isn’t our first holiday without our adult kids, but it is the longest we’ve ever been away without one of them joining us for at least some of the trip.
In just over a week, we’ll celebrate 25 years of marriage, and we wanted to mark the occasion by spending three weeks in our favourite place.
We’ve been coming here for almost 19 years, so every corner holds memories of family holidays, juggling toddlers, play parks, learning to swim, visits to the beach and those precious moments that seemed ordinary at the time but became the memories you treasure most.
This trip has been different.
It’s been about slowing down, relaxing completely, enjoying each other’s company and remembering who we are when life isn’t revolving around work, family commitments and to-do lists.
We’ve enjoyed reading books (me), enjoyed lazy mornings, lots of walking, laughed a lot, and become surprisingly good at taking selfies now there are no teenagers around to capture the perfect shot!
As much as we’ve missed the kids, this wee second honeymoon has been exactly what we needed.
Twenty-five years has gone by in a flash, and I’m feeling incredibly grateful for the life we’ve built, the memories we’ve made, and the adventures that are still to come.
