Last month Jason and I took our first vacation sans kids since. . . . our honeymoon almost 9 years ago. Destination: Ixtapa, Mexico. Given the trip was without our kids, the last thing we wanted to do was be on the go, with a long list of to-do's while we were there. Basically we went to enjoy the warm temps, sunshine, and an occasional cocktail down by the pool. Meals were eaten at a normal pace without interruption, and I was able to wake in the morning on my own terms. Really, that was the highlight of my part of the vacation! Kids either make you 1) lame, or 2) easily amused; I'm perfectly ok with both labels.
All of this is in gratitude to my sister-in-law who braved staying with all 3 of the kids for the entire week we were gone. She graciously moved into our house for the week, and life went on fairly normal. The kids had fun, and hopefully we didn't scare her away for good after that stint!
A big thank you to all those who made this trip a reality for us, we had a wonderful time!
