Anniversaries to remember ....

It's our wedding anniversary later this week ... 44 years ... sheesh! ... saying that out loud is a little scary. I don't feel old enough for it to be true ;)) However, no matter the number, our anniversary is always a fun time of year for us ... one we look forward to celebrating with a tradition we started ~36 yrs ago ....

... Our Hotel Sex Anniversary Getaway! ...

It was in the early eighties that I came up with the plan that turned into an annual event. Hotel Sex is a phrase I've heard many others use since .... ahhh, hotel sex, wink, wink, was often a response we'd get when we told someone we were heading away to a hotel for a couple of days. I think Amy (of Eric51Amy49) also referred to it, in a comment on one of my blog posts, as "getting to dress and parade around a place you don't live, followed by hot sex" ... and I would add ... "where you can get away from the everyday noise of life and pretend you are someone else ... no one knows you so who cares what you do".

My plan arose, of course, as a way for us to spend quality time together, with no distractions ... and to give Frank some focused sexy time I couldn't seem to manage often enough in everyday life. Just the thought of hotel sex had my old friend Lola Libido skidding around the corner, making a most dramatic entrance ... not only for the prize event, but for all the weeks long planning that went into said event. There was lingerie and clothing to purchase, new toys to investigate and buy, and plans to be made to surprise Frank. Spring was a happy, sexy time in our household ... now it's Spring all year :>))

Frank has complete long term memory recall which means he can probably quote you chapter and verse as to what transpired on every getaway we had ... some of them are his fondest memories ... "do you remember, Babe, when we ... " (or more likely it's, "do you remember when you ... " as most often, he's looking for a repeat performance :>)).  

I don't have the same recall but I do know I used those weekends to make up for Ms Libido's and my absenteeism the rest of the year. I don't think there was a fantasy of Frank's that went unfulfilled.

Most years we aim for a resort type destination. This year we are delaying a week and heading to the big city to combine our getaway with Frank's high school reunion. The reunion is not a huge event so we will have lots of time to spend together doing whatever else we desire! 

An anniversary gift box is packed with new playtime goodies, the identity of which I won't share here as Frank reads my blog. I am sure we will have a blast ... and perhaps this year, with us both newly in ttwd land, even more so ... if that's possible! 

Happy Anniversary, Frank! ... I've got plans, Baby! ... oxox
