Anniversary!

So Mamie and I snuck away last week for a quick celebration of our eighth wedding anniversary. Yes, eight years ago, many of you were dancing it up in Winston-Salem, NC.  We had a wonderful stay-cation right here in Barranquilla, going to one of the city's historic old hotels, the Hotel El Prado.  The grounds, and the pool in particular are fabulous (see above, or click on the hotel name to take a virtual tour).

During the stay, Mamie proved that pregnant women do not float, but we're pretty sure Peanut enjoyed the pool.  Mamie at least enjoyed the feeling of being 8 kilos lighter again!  It was a great time to get away, because Mamie has been put on bed rest for the duration of this pregnancy.  Sooo, lesson learned is: take the vacation when you can!
