I got back yesterday afternoon from a lovely weekend spent in Daytona with my amazing boyfriend, and here's how our weekend went. Because of needing to do some homework Thursday night, I woke up at the crack of dawn Friday morning to get into town at about the same time Kyle was going to get off of his shift. When I finally made it to his house, we exchanged kisses and he gave me these beautiful flowers. :)
After hanging around the house for a bit, we went to go get lunch at my favorite restaurant in Port Orange, Our Deck. It was a beautiful day, so we sat outside and let the sun warm us as we looked out onto the channel. After consuming our delicious fish sandwiches, we took a long walk on the beach before heading to the movies.
Well, we didn't actually make it to the movies because we got to the theater and, still sitting in his truck, decided that really we were both so exhausted (me from my drive, and him from a long & busy 24 hour shift) that we would likely fall asleep in the theater. So we went home to nap! After our much needed nap, we headed to The Garlic in New Smyrna Beach for dinner, a great little place we discovered last year on Valentines Day. Such yummy food, and it was a beautiful enough evening for us to sit outside under the twinkly lights. The husband of the couple behind us ended up surprising his wife with a men's quartet singing group, so the whole area around us got serenaded by these 4 cute older gentleman in red bow ties and white suits! So cute!
(We saw a couple pilots making hearts in the sky on our way to dinner!)
On Saturday, we had breakfast at Crabby Joe's, our favorite breakfast spot that sits on the pier. Then we drove around a bit, up to Palm Coast for Kyle to pick something up from work. When we got back, we finally went to the movies! About Last Night was so funny, I highly recommend it! The whole theater was laughing!
We concluded Saturday by attending the Palm Coast Fire Department Awards Ceremony. It was lots of fun to meet the people he works with! I'm constantly proud of everything he does in his career.
Yesterday Kyle worked, so he left early in the morning and then I headed back to Tallahassee a bit later. It was a wonderful weekend, and I couldn't have asked for a better man to spend Valentines with and to celebrate 5 years of love together!
Hope you had an amazing Valentines weekend as well!
