My dream was about how i had a surprise vacation to the Washington DC. in the dream i told my wife that i needed to take a break from work to rest at home and also have a very good moment together as couple, my wife agreed and said yes she has seen me exhausted for the past weeks and so it was necessary that i take a break from work. On the day my company approved my break, i called my wife and told her about the news and she was so happy to hear that, my wife had booked a flight for the two of us to Washington DC and she also made a room reservation at the Hay-Adam. The Hay-Adam is a historic, luxurious hotel near the white house with elegant rooms and views. It was a very nice moment of my life especially because how she surprised me, we had a very good time and visited the nation's capital, monuments and other historical sites. my wife sponsored the trip and every other expenses we made during our vacation. I was so happy because my wife had really put in an effort to spice up our marriage and i also did my very best giving her my attention and a very cute time, we spent a 9 days for this vacation and came back to Arizona where we lived. sooner than later, my alarm started ringing and there i woke noticing it was a dream but i was still happy and kept a smiling face till this hour of the time
