Brooks and I were fortunate to have one of our best friends, Stephanie, ask us if she could watch Gavin for the evening, and let him spend the night with her, so we could get away. We knew that Gavin loves his Aunt Steph and he does very well adapting to new places so we agreed and went off for our weekend Anniversary celebration.
Brooks did a little research and found a cute restaurant that was actually across the street from our hotel. It was called The Grove and it looked out to Discovery Green, a large park in downtown Houston, near the George Brown Convention Center. We had a delicious dinner (with dessert) and were stuffed by the time our meal had ended. After wards, we went back to our hotel and actually went swimming in their indoor pool (Brooks LOVES to swim and every year we'd forget to bring our swim suits) and just relaxed. The next morning, we got up and went to a couple's massage. That was my gift to Brooks. When he went to China, he would get a massage almost every day because they were very cheap over there and he loves getting them. I thought he'd enjoy another one, plus, at this time, we had been doing a LOT of work on the house and we both just needed a break. The last time (and only time) we've ever had a couple's massage was on our honeymoon so it brought back memories from 4 years ago!
We're glad we went and took the time to celebrate our anniversary. Here are a few pics from the last few anniversaries at the Hilton Hotel.
On our first anniversary, we brought the top of our wedding cake and ate it up!
We also exchanged presents!
This was our 2nd anniversary.. I was 9 months pregnant (since I was on bed rest for our actual anniversary in May, we went in August to celebrate me getting off bed rest and to have one last weekend alone before Gavin came.
