Ok so this is the first time I have ever posted here but we just got back from our wonderful trip and thought I would put down a trip report and maybe someone would find something useful out of it. Sorry No Pictures!!
Anyway, my DH and I had our 11th anniversary June 14th so we thought we would plan a trip. A little background info we have a 5 year old little boy and have never been off alone since he was born. So me being the crazy paranoid person in the family took 2 weeks to get up the nerve and finally agree to leave him with the grandparents so we could go off but drew the line at 3 days.
So we planned our trip for June 13th, 14th, and 15th.
So I will start with Thursday, the day before departure. I have planned everything out and my DH has so graciously paid for everything. Lucky him huh!! We are scheduled to pick up our rental car at 2pm because our air conditioner went out in our car and DH tells me I am absolutely nuts when I say it will be OK we can just get it fixed when we get back it won't be too hot. So we head off to the rental place before he gives me the famous stop being so cheap look.
Well, when we arrive they of course do not have the car that I asked for (because it got great gas mileage) but do have one that they will upgrade us to that looks like a tank on wheels. Of course DH is thrilled that we got a free upgrade but me keeper of the budget is looking at it and wondering how much $4 a gallon gas this thing will drink. So, off we go in our tank back to the house to load up and get DS ready for grandma's.
Sorry if this too detailed or long!!
Well, it is now 5pm and time to drop DS off at grandma's (who by the way lives next door) but I am so not ready. DH actually asks me if I have taken my medication today when I tell him that yes DS really needs all 3 bags I have packed for a 3 day stay. Well, maybe I did get a little carried away with the what if he needs this syndrome but hey you never know and I would not want grandma to have to walk all the way over here, use her house key, and try to find whatever it is that DS needs. LOL!! Ok I know I am crazy but they love me anyway. So after the panic attack I have when we leave DS we are ready to pack our bags into the car and get to bed as we are leavng at 2am.
Next up Departure and the Stop being so cheap look again from DH!!
