sitting down for a much needed breather.....

I'm having a hard time believing that the trip that we've been planning for months is almost here. This time tomorrow I will be riding a bike across the Golden Gate Bridge......just a little more exciting than doing laundry and loading the dishwasher. ;)

As excited as I am- as you fellow mommies will understand- I'm having a pretty tough time with the idea of being away from the kids for eight days. It is, by far, the longest I've ever been away from them. I know they will have a great week and I will have a great week and they will be loved and well taken care of and Ben and I will have some much needed time together and it's good for me to go and.........but it will still be pretty hard to say goodbye this evening.

So in between packing for us, packing for them, and cleaning up the house, I'm trying to savor every little minute of the kids today.

I'm not sure if we'll be blogging on the trip or not. We are taking the laptop, but I'm not sure if I'll feel like posting at all or if I'll just wait until we get back. I promised Gracie I would send her pictures, and blogging would be just as easy as emailing them to her, so we'll see....

Have a great week!

Biking across the Golden Gate Bridge is an amazing experience! I was telling my Mom at lunch today that you guys were headed to California. And my direct words were "if I know her she's going to have a hard time being away from the kids." Why is it that we dream about time away and then once that times comes we spend it dreaming of our kids? Funny how that always works, huh? I am the same way. Enjoy your trip (as best you can) and celebrate being Ben and Leslie versus Mom and Dad. You both deserve a break!
