20 hours of freedom

So, with a little LOT of help from my Mum having the four munchkins, I planned a surprise getaway for Curly Haired Husbands Birthday. Just for once he really had no idea of my surprise, which made it all the more fun!
I had planned to go 'kidnap' him from work, but when I got there he had left the office for an appointment. So Í called and tracked him down, left our overnight bag in his car while he was in his appointment with a note and headed home and waited.... thinking I'd hear from  him soon. I waited some more. then I started the messages.. this is just a snapshot.

impatient, obsessive, stalker-ish ( is that a word?) .....-hey we only had 20 hours!

He finally came home and we headed off for our 20 hours of freedom. We stayed at the Novotel Twin Waters, it is only 10 minutes from home. I thought if there were any problems with the kids we'd only be a few minutes away. Did someone say neurotic Mum? hehe.
 We arrived to this

We had a lovely buffet dinner. Had some delicious food, but our favourite treat hands down among all the  delectable desserts.....

We were just like a couple of school kids...- eating our killer pythons as we walked along the lagoon back to our room.


The next day we had so much fun.

We went out in these

so we could jump on this ( yes, it's a trampoline in the middle of the lagoon!)

Then I layed in the sun, while the birthday boy chauffeured me around the lagoon on a Catamaran

( He took it very seriously )

A swim, and lazing by the pool

- and our 20 blissful hours were up....

But we didn't even mind,- we had had so much fun!
