This is my first vacation since I became unemployed, and I can already tell the difference. No conference calls or nasty e-mails will threaten me! Begone nasty work dreams and voicemail checking!
It’s pretty laughable to even say I’m on vacation, since my post-work life has been pretty easy breezy (and because we all know what “vacations” with kids are like.) But I’m not in the depths of winter-hell in the Midwest and I can easily get out of going to the grocery store all week. However, I still had to go to Target today to get baby supplies. Some things never change.
But because I am priveleged enough to be able to look at this view, and I have my parents around to help, I’m kind of hoping to squeeze in some time to relaxation or re-focusing outside of my mundane routines. Which probably just means I’ll have more time to go shopping. (Here’s hoping for sales. Cross your fingers!)
Whatever the case, Target run aside (happened upon these ballet flats in the process so it wasn’t so bad), I’m breathing non-city air, I’m seeing what I think is actually the sun (it’s gone missing in Chicago) and I actually got to drink half a beer with dinner. Not bad, eh?
And I got my man, who managed to fall asleep on the plane just as we were landing. Who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble, I don’t mind him at 20,000 feet.

Have a wonderful vacation! The view looks awesome, so you must be in a great location. Do your best with traveling with kids. Our vacation wasn’t the greatest, but if we had waited until our daughter was the age she is now, I think she would have done better. I know yours will be much better–especially with grandparent helpers!
Cute shoes. Vacationing with the ‘rents around to help is the best! Have a great time.
NICE shoes!
When we fly our twins sleep through the landing. All the
noises and bumps don’t even cause them to stir.
Why don’t they sleep like that at home?
