I can hardly believe it, but Derek's vacation finally starts on Tuesday!!!! He will be off for three weeks! That seems like such a long time, but after you take into account a 180 degree sleep schedule flip on each side it should leave us with just under 2 weeks of fun family time.
In the meantime, I'm off on a super-secret-surprise getaway with Silas & Zoe this weekend. The M.V. has been cleaned and re-organized and we are mostly packed. We'll leave tomorrow after lunch and get back on Monday night. Derek will be sleeping before his last night of work on Monday when we get home, so he won't see the kids for 3 entire days. Due to our childcare/twin situation, neither of us has been away from them before so it will be interesting to see how this goes...
We have tons of fun stuff planned for vacation this year. Next weekend the two of us are heading to downtown Boston to the hotel we stayed in on our wedding night,
Derek's parents are coming to hang with the kids for our 24-hour (MUCH-NEEDED) getaway. We're going to a Red Sox game on August 4th and then our family vacation in southern Maine is the following week. Here are a few pictures from our trip to Boothbay Harbor in August of 2008, a few months before we got married:
We have lots of playdates and BBQ's sprinkled throughout Derek's time off as well. Most of all I'm looking forward to all things together: putting the kids to bed, cooking dinner, and generally re-connecting.
