Early in the week, we thought it might be nice to do a quickie get away so we got up and I exercised, sketched, and then packed. Off we went on our car trip. An hour and half later, we checked into the hotel and went to lunch. Where the little boy colored.
And the big boy colored.
Then I took a mirror shot just for fun.
And one of my beautiful older son.
Then we came back to the hotel and the boys watched TV, this shows you why TV is not so great for you.
The other boy was awestruck, too.
As we relaxed the boys had fun sharing a chair.
They laughed and laughed.
And then David read to Nathaniel.
Which made both of us cry tears of joy a bit. It’s been the perfect vacation so far. A lot of relaxing and the kids are still up even though it’s well past bed time but they are enjoying it here, too so we’re making an exception for this one day. Short and sweet is how we like our vacations.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for being with my family and beautiful sunshine and ocean.
2. I am grateful for a day off work, relaxing and being present.
3. I am grateful for my husband who did all the driving as he always does.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I went on a trip {* his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful that I played with legos
3. I am grateful that I watched Jeopardy.
Karen, how wonderful to be on a short vacation right now. It will be nice for you to have some fun with your boys. I love the pictures of them and yours too. Have fun!!
