The Wheatfills: Scott's 30th Birthday

Yesterday Scott turned 30. He has alaways said if you only live to be 60 you have lived half your life. So yes it was a big day to be remember, however I hope that's not the case because I plan on living pass 60 and need Scott around. I wouldn't be the person I am today without him. He tries to make my life calm and simple when I make Big things out of little things. He teaches me to be a communicator. I am thankful for his happy attitude and love for life. I am thankful that he has a job that he is so passionate about (even though it makes me not want to cook). I am thankful for the Dad that he is to our kids and the sacrifices he has made to be with them. He loves them so much and they adore him. He is Evan's best friend.

Since everyone was telling me that 30 was a big deal I decided to do something special for Scott. I planned an overnight trip to Solvang. It was suppose to be a surprise, but due to other circumstances I had to spill the beans a little early or else he would be stuck at work and our trip would just be a dream.

We stayed at really nice Restaurant, Inn and Spa. We arrived, put our bags in our room and headed out to see the old Danish Town. We stopped in every Bakery we saw and a few Chocolate/Candy stores. We couldn't pass up buying and tasting a variety of treats. After walking around the entire small village it was time for dinner. We ate at the Hotels Restaurant and had one of the best dinners ever. I had a bacon wrapped Pork Chop with a Chutney sauce that was to die for. We then planned to go to a movie and drove to a town 15 miles away, but once we pulled into the parking lot we decided against it. So we ended up at the redbox to rent a DVD. Gotta love redbox. The next day we ended up eating breakfast at the hotel, finished watching our movie and then headed out. We drove around the beautiful Wine Country and visited a small vineyard. It was quaint, but stunning. It was so gorgeous to see all the flowers in bloom for Spring. After our drive we headed back into Solvang to eat lunch, walk around and snap a few pictures. Our trip ended on a high note with a massage at the Spa.

Once we got home our two darling kids were waiting for us outside. We celebrated Scott's birthday with them by opening gifts, singing happy birthday and eating Ice Cream cake (Scott's Favorite). They were so funny to see and Evan loved everything about a "Birthday Party".

The two day trip was amazing. I think I enjoyed it more than Scott. The relaxation of being away from your kids for a moment was refreshing. Don't get me wrong, I missed them but knew they were in good hands with my mom. She was so gracious to offer to watch them while we went away. I had to take her up on the offer because I don't know when we will get the opportunity again. In a few months life will be back to hussel and bussel and less time to see each other, so I am extremely grateful for the opportunity that Scott and I could spend some time alone. Happy Birthday Scott!
