Tomorrow I will be doing something I haven't done in four years....flying solo (well not literally! there will hopefully be a pilot and a full crew!). For the first time since having children, I will be flying without car seats, stroller, bulky diaper bag, three changes of clothing, cheerios, and nasty stares from fellow travelers. I will able to read something besides Curious George, I will be able to sleep, I will be free to wander the cabin when I want to and not because I have a squirmy toddler...I never thought I would be so excited to fly cross-country, but I am !
That doesn't mean I won't be missing my monkeys because I will. This is the first extended (six days) separation I have ever had from them. My wonderful, kind, generous, loving, saint of a husband has taken time off from work so I can fly to San Diego and spend time with my dear friend Summer and her family. I can't wait to hold Sophie, but I am sure it will also make me miss my babies. And perhaps I will miss them more than they will miss me...I heard Adam already planning all sorts of fabulous outings so they will be busy.
And now I need to pack for my big adventure...novels I have been wanting to read, dark chocolate to replace the cheerios, and fancy hand lotion instead of diaper creme.

Blue Doors in Urubamba
In addition to loving the blue doors we found on a little, dusty street in Urubamba, we also enjoyed: lunch at Kaia , ...
Wow, have a great time! I can hardly imagine (it will be awhile before I get to experience that kind of freedom again).
Between your trip to CA and Angie off to France, I am a very DARK shade of green with envy! My solo trips to the commissary seem much less exciting now. I am, however, looking forward with GLEE to a girls weekend in Vegas sometime this summer with my pal Cassie. SO, read those books, get a tummyache from the chocolate, shop solo, take long baths and pee at will! LOL
Wish I was in CA to catch up with Ya!
Luv,
Tiff
Hope you have a great kidless journey!!! IT was so sweet of hubby to take time off so you could do this.
