Where's the Lemonade?

Spending time as a couple (no kids) is very important when you are married for a second time. In this episode, Darren and Paige go to Panama for a week.

Show Notes


Anton Valley Panama

Why we go on trips?
  • Your life does not start alone, you are dropped off in the middle of a bunch of stuff!
  • There is no beginning with just the two of you.
  • Important to disconnect from everyone and everything.
  • Second Marriages don’t have a real honeymoon time. 
  • Things we have learned about spending time together alone.
    • Understanding what helps the other person relax (Paige read a book, Darren Program)
    • Finding out what we enjoy together
    • Finding out what annoys the other

Trip Highlights
  • Panama, why? It was warm and we have not been there yet and not too expensive.
  • Riding horses on the beach.
  • We stayed in Rio Hato Buenaventura. Marriott Plug.
  • We went to Anton Valley, ate at an incredible restaurant in Casa de Lourdes.
  • Darren got a speeding ticket. Not his first in a foreign country.
  • Came up with the idea of doing a podcast
  • We spend time (not too much) talking about our future long term and short term.
    • Where we want to live?
    • Family Reunions
  • Falling in love all over again. Focused attention on each other and nothing else.
    • The most important relationship is our relationship.
    • The kids feel and notice how much we are in love.

Funny Moment
  • On this last trip, Darren was told he can go on the old person elevator at the Panama Canal.

What is Where's the Lemonade??

They say when life gives you lemons you should make lemonade. Making lemonade is not always easy or possible. For us, we found ourselves single in our 40's with kids at home and starting life over again. Luckily we found each other, online no doubt. When we began blending families, schedules, traditions, and laundry, we discovered lots of lemons. Our podcast is a reflection on how we get through the hard times and enjoy the good times on our new journey together, all with ten kids in tow. Sometimes when life gives you lemons, you make lemon squares. Lemonade might come later.
