A Night Away From The Kids
I took off at noon last Friday so we could get ready for our little romantic "get-away" for the evening. At 1:15pm, the lady that was going watch our son (who has a son his same age), called to say that her son was sick and it may not be wise to have our son stay with them. AAHH!! The first wrench was thrown! My wife made some hectic calls to other people with sons that my son is friends with. The first two were strike-outs. It's the bottom of the ninth with two outs... It's crunch time folks as time is running out... The third call was a Home-Run! :-) We found someone to keep our son for the evening! The Night was Saved! :-)
So, we picked up our son from school, dropped him off at his destination for the evening, then took our daughter to her sleep-over place with a family that has a daughter her age and we were off on our little vacation.
We got to our hotel and checked in. After freshening up, we headed out to dinner at a nice romantic Italian restaurant. It had very good food. After dinner we went to a music show. It would be similar to a show that you'd see in Branson, MO or Nashville, TN, but this was in a smaller town, so it didn't quite have the "big feel" production qualities to it, but it was still pretty good. They did a variety of music styles and had lots of funny comedy skits in it too.
After the show we headed back to the hotel to enjoy the nice jacuzzi for some nice relaxation.
The next morning we ate the "continental" breakfast at the hotel and headed out to the HUGE factory outlet mall next door. We shopped until early afternoon... My feet and legs were killing me... but we found some nice stuff and headed to a late lunch. Then we headed back home to pick up the kids.
The trip was too short and yesterday, my wife was ready to leave for the next one. The kids didn't take long to be at each other's throats again and really puts a damper on your good memories. :-)
My son woke up this morning not feeling very well, so he stayed home from school. He already gets this Friday off for Parent/Teacher conferences, so he'll get a short week.
Blessings!
