A Little Homesick...

This week marks a big first for me...first vacation WITHOUT my boys. I'm in San Francisco with Joe right now. He has a training for work and we decided that I would tag along and we'd take an extra couple of days to do some sightseeing. We left Monday morning and will be back Saturday night. It has been a lot of fun, almost like a second Honeymoon (until Joe had to go to his training and I was venturing through the big city on my own) but I miss my boys like crazy! My parents are watching them for me, so I know they are in good hands. I've talked to them on the phone and I can hear in their voices (and my mom's) that it's getting harder on everyone each day. I'm sure I'm homesick today because I choose to stay at the hotel most of the day and I'm pretty bored. But, seriously, after the run on Saturday and all the sightseeing we've done this week, my feet are killing me and they needed a real break! So, Joe will be back in an hour and we'll go and do something fun and exciting and tomorrow will be our last day of sightseeing and I'll savor the experience of vacationing without kids, but for right now I really miss my boys!

Oh, and I'll post all the fun pictures and experiences of our trip once we're back...or tomorrow if I get bored again!

I'm soooooo jealous. I can't wait for a time when Rob and I can pick up and leave for a few days.

I'm not sure I'd even miss home. Just kidding.

Congrats on the run. You are a champ!

I sure hope you had lots of fun! I imagine I would probably get a little homesick, too. I think for me a couple days would be plenty.

P.S. How is it that in that picture Joe looks like he hasn't aged a bit in the last ten years?!? That's just not fair! I want to know the secret!

ohhhhh, I love your page!!! I know how you feel about leaving your kids. I felt that way too. NOw all I think about is wow my kids would love this, if Shane and I go anywhere without them. LOL I like to think that it is a sign of a good mom. Although my kids are getting big enough now that I don't think that I would miss them as much LOL hahahhaa. Enjoy your time as much as you can!!!!!
