Favourite Thing Friday - The Holiday Edition...

I'm pretty sure it will be no great mystery as to what my FTF is today...

H.O.L.I.D.A.Y.S....
And most specifically, celebration holidays with my hunny!

Yes, we are back from our brief getaway and I don't think it would have been possible for us to have had a more perfect time!

We took a little road trip down south and stayed at a fabulous resort. I knew it was going to be nice down there but it far surpassed our expectations.
Our hotel had 3 pools, was set on the beach, AND had it's own pond complete with baby ducklings. We also had our own private spa.
If that's not enough to make you want to go pee every 5 minutes then I don't know what is, but it sure was nice :)

It also had all the best things that you really want from a hotel: clean, quiet, comfortable and air con! That last one is particularly important when you are travelling in the hottest week that WA has apparently seen in 47 years, trust me on that one!

We also did all the things that {to me} make a perfect holiday:

We slept in!
We ate out at some truly fabulous places...

We shopped...
{right through from thrift shops to some of the cutest boutiques ever!}

And not just window shopped at that.
We ate out some more...

We swam...
We napped...
We read books...
We watched movies...
We took drives to see the sights...

I didn't wear the white dress intentionally although now the thought has occured to me about how ironic it was, it is quite funny that I did!

We even went into the cutest sewing shop ever and I got to try out a Bernina 820
and Mr Flutter even stood there and picked the ladies brains about it!
{No that doesn't mean I'm getting one btw - was just playing.}

And the most important thing of all...
We.were.celebrating.10years.Together

It was our first time celebrating an anniversary together in 4 years at that. About time.

So really and truly it was the perfect celebration holiday. Even if by today I did miss my gorgeous girls like crazy!

Not that they were interested in me in the slightest... this man was understandably the man in demand...
But I can understand that since it'd been 3 weeks since they'd seen him and only 3 nights since they'd seen me.

And I suppose you'd like to know what Mr Flutter gave me as a present?...

Go on then I'll tell you...
A few more sparkles of the gold & diamond variety...

Handmade by a local jeweller to the area in which we stayed.

Yes it has occured to me that I have the perfect man!

So tonight it stands to reason that I am feeling like that Kat that ate the pigeon...
I'm sure my 5am variable alarm clocks will bring me right back down to reality in the morning, but for now I'm going to revel in it!
