I took this week off work - it's one of those weeks I like to take since I get a whole week but only use 4 vacation days. We didn't go anywhere out of town but we were referring to it as our vacation week none the less. We decided on doing some things we don't get to do all the time. No major smarty comments this week to post here I am sorry to say, but not sad because those definintely keep me on my toes as far as how to respond! Here is how the week has played out so far:
Day one was a trip to the beach, she took her bike and rode along the path by the beach, stopped and had a picnic, and then did some digging (or in the boy's case - eating) in the sand.
Day two was a trip to the zoo, busy time in the summer, I think I forgot that there was zoo camp. But they enjoyed it and we stopped for a coffee on the way home.
Day three was a walk to a new park (one that we had never been to before) and lunch with dad. It was a 30 minute drive and 96 degrees but all worth it because it made both dad and the girl very happy to see each other.
The best part is that I have managed to enjoy this vacation and relax (as much as possible with 2 young kids) and I even took a nap with them yesterday. Why am I working again?? Oh that's right, we have a mortgage payment every month....
