The Trip That Wasn't.

On Christmas Matt surprised me with the reservations to a 4 day vacation to Cancun in February. 

This was our first vacation since our honeymoon almost 5 years ago. 

To say we were excited would be an understatement. 

He had talked to our Moms and planned for the kids to be taken care of. 

He had booked and arranged everything. 

Then the winter that has seemed to not give us break decided it had better plans. 

The night before we were supposed to fly out, a giant snowstorm hit New England.

I cried myself to sleep in frustration and disappointment. 

The next day - determined to make something out of nothing- Matt suggested we try New York City. Either of us had only been once with an " ok" experience or being 10 and not really remembering it.

I wasn't so sure but Matt's determination to remain positive and take a vacation helped reassure me. 

So to NYC we went.

It was great. 

We made it up as we went along and had a wonderful time. 

Both of us left excited to visit again. 

We ate at great restaurants, saw amazing monuments and historical sites, and stayed in a beautiful hotel. 

All on a whim. 

It was great to talk, remember we liked each other, and start to heal from a year of heartbreak.

The company is what is important - not the place.
