I am so truly lucky to have married my best friend, my travel partner, the father to my children, the one that shares so many great memories with me. We have been a part for most of August but were lucky to take a trip to Glacier National Park, just the two of us at the beginning of the month before he left me and the kids to finish out our USA summer.
I love that he loves traveling as much as I do.
I love that he loves exploring as much as I do.
We are still working on loving photography as much as I do but showing progress.
Traveling is probably my favorite thing to do with Mr P. It’s when we are both the most relaxed and at ease even if we do have the two tots in tow! For that time we are together, it’s about quality time spent, not “having” to do anything we don’t want to. No time specifications. We just be and enjoy every moment of it.
* from the top of the mountain together to the bottom of the falls *
We laughed, we stood silently staring out into pure beauty, we held hands, we hugged, we kissed, and we made memories that will last a lifetime.
Our trip to Glacier Park really was that for me, as so many other trips we have taken together have been. I love pouring over our vacation albums from over the years and basking in all the amazing memories we made. I love our years we have had and I am so excited for all the years we have ahead of us. We have a wonderful life together even with our little bickers, or grumpy days like any normal married couple. It’s our version of perfect!
Glad you got to have some alone time while you were away. And Glacier National Park looks stunning! X
It really is so beautiful especially from the top. Scary driving but worth it. It was great to have the grandkids have special grandma time while we got to spend quality time together too.
Awe, what a lovely post. It’s nice to take the time to appreciate each other, despite the crazy, busy times that life with little ones create! Your photos are amazing, your trip looks stunning 🙂
Thanks Yvette, it was a trip of a lifetime until next summer when we do it all again. Always great to spend our summers in the states with my family and winters/christmas in ireland with my husband’s family. I hope it will teach our children many different cultural traits.
Beautiful post hon and lovely snaps. I married my best friend and travel partner too and count my lucky stars each and every day 🙂
Thank you. We all should do the same and be so grateful.
Sounds like a really lovely trip and its always so nice to go with someone that loves travelling too. Glacier Park looks really stunning in those photos.
Thanks hun I will blog specifically about Glacier National Park later but these were just a few of us together. There are rivers and waterfalls and a huge lake and views that are absolutely breathing taking to share.
Sounds lovely, great that you’re both so adventurous together. A perfect match 🙂
Thanks Sian. I think so too. 😉 I can’t wait until the kids are a bit older and can be more adventurous with us.
Beautiful photos – so relaxed and happy. Sounds like it was a wonderful trip 🙂
It was a BRILLIANT trip thank you hun. I am missing it all already and can’t wait until we go back in June. Stunning place to visit.
What a beautiful post. My other half is my best friend, and it makes for some wonderful moment even during the worst times – he and I just ‘get’ each other. I love the dress you’re wearing in the photos, too! xxx
Ahh thanks hunny so sweet of you. And I am so glad you both get each other and are there for each other especially given what you have been through that’s so important. Your relationship sounds truly strong! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
That’s beautiful! It sounds like you are very lucky to have such a special relationship – and those photos are stunning!
Thank you Sarah so sweet of you to say. It’s stunning place so it’s not hard to grab a great photo. lol So lucky to have grown up in such a place or near it at least.
What a stunning place, and it’s great that you got to enjoy some time there together. You are right about spending quality time together but not actually having to do anything, that is the best!
Thank you. I was lucky to grow up in such a beautiful part of the world indeed. Yes so true. I don’t think we always have to be doing something to make memories sometimes just being together is good enough!
Gosh this place looks beautiful Jennie! sounds like you have a fabulous relationship. It’s hard being apart, I bet you were excited to get back together after all that time 🙂 x
Yes I really was. It’s such a long time but every summer is worth it. It only makes us value family more and work at our relationship harder and more! Thanks hun.
What beautiful photos. It looks like you had such a wonderful break (I don’t know about you but I am glad to be back to some sort of normality though!). #sharewithme
Thanks hunny. Yes I completely agree. It was great but living out of a suitcase I am glad for my bed, house and things to get back to a good routine!
Happy to hear that you managed to spend some time alone with your husband while in the US. Fabulous photos as always.
Yes it’s always great to have one on one hubby time and the kids with their grandparents too! Everyone wins!
How nice to get away together! That’s so important to do. I’m sure your parents enjoyed keeping having the grandchildren all to themselves, too!
Yes they certainly did. The kids too! I think it’s important to have couple time, kid time and alone time all balanced.
It really does help when you have common interests, I’m sure it was lovely to be reunited after your time apart. And what beautiful views from your trip together. Memories to last a lifetime x
Thank you so much. Yes we truly made some fantastic memories indeed. Time apart makes the heart grow founder right? hahaha It’s hard being away for so long but always great to reunite.
Ooh I love glacial lakes. Looks amazing, and so great that you both enjoy the same things.
Thanks Emma. I am very grateful we love the same things but just enough the same and different for a good balance. lol
Aww lovely, looks like you had a lovely time together and have such a strong and happy relationship 🙂 xx
Thanks Caroline. I like to think so too. 😉 I am so very lucky!
What a blessing it is to marry your best friend! I married mine, too and tremendously enjoy traveling with him. We don’t get the opportunity to vacation together as often as we like, but when we do it’s always a great time. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful pictures and for this wonderful post. 🙂
Thanks Marcia, your lovely comment just made my day. Traveling gets harder and harder with prices skyrocketing but glad you get to enjoy it too with your best friend. Nothing better.
Aww, such a lovely post and beautiful photos! x
Thank you Jo. So sweet of you to say. We had a great time adventuring the great outdoors together. I can’t wait to take the kids when they are older!
How lovely, I would love to visit somewhere like that, you two are perfect for each other! #sharewithme
Ahh thanks hun. You are too sweet. We match well! lol
It’s wonderful that you two share the same interests, especially travelling. Nothing better than seeing the world together. Beautiful photos!
Thanks Tarana. So true. I feel bad as my mother loves to travel like me and my Dad plain refuses to go anywhere ever. So she gets a bit down that they can’t share that part of their passions together. So I am so very grateful I can with Mr P.
Quality time is always important – great photos :0 #sharewithme
Thank you. You couldn’t be more right. I always think you have to have balance and alone time in all relationships.
Grace says – Lovely photos and it looks like you had some really nice time together – High-5’s x #sharewithme
Thanks for the high fives we had a brilliant summer in the usa. Thank you so much.
So great to be able to spend time together doing something that you both love, and in a stunning location as well! Gorgeous photos x
Thanks Jess. You are so kind. It really is. I am ever so grateful for him and the gorgeous place I grew up!
What a lovely couple – a great match! My Hubs is also my bessie mate!

Thank you so much.
Lovely to be able to spend time together, doing something you both love – and somewhere so beautiful. Gorgeous photos, you look so happy x
Thanks hunny I really am always so happy traveling with my bestie in America. Can’t think of anything better to do during the summers. Lol
Lovely picts – and nice to have some couple shots too! Sounds like you are perfect for each other and had a great time! x
We really did have such a great time and made some great memories too. Brilliant summer all around. I can’t wait until next year.
