Vacation!!!!

It's coming!

I'm going to go on vacation with my husband (just Tony and I) for a whole week. We are going to Colorado and the kids are staying home with my mom starting MONDAY!!!!!

Can you tell I'm excited?

It's partly because I haven't had a whole lot of time with Tony lately. It's funny. Our weeknights are filled most of the time with one event or another. We make time for each other, but baseball season isn't the best time for that. He umpires for Little League and that takes quite a bit of time. It doesn't bother me that much...except when I need something from him and he has a game. He enjoys it, though, and honestly, I think it's cool.

The other reason I'm excited is because we are going away for a week. We just haven't done that before. We didn't have a honeymoon because I had to be back to work Monday after we got married on Saturday. We have done a weekend before, and we had trips with the kids, but just the two of us is not something we've done.

We are going to Colorado. We are going white water rafting one day. I don't really have other plans. I know that there is stuff to do, so that's cool. Tony and I really looked into what there is to do, so we know what's around (though any suggestions are still welcome).

Our original plan for this vacation was Boston. That didn't work out. My mom is letting us use her timeshare thing, and the one in that area was booked...and we looked in January. So we looked and looked. Finally, after searching for quite some time, we decided on Colorado. I just hope it doesn't rain the whole time. The weather report (which I have been watching closely) says it will be partly cloudy or mostly sunny the whole time. Let's just hope that sticks, because there is a storm that is supposed to hit Friday and Saturday. The temperature is going to be in the high 60's, which is really cold to me (I'm a So Cal girl, I like the temperature at about 80-90), but I'll wear my winter gear and be fine. White water rafting will be done in wet suits, so that's no big deal.

I'm so excited!!! I love my kids, and that's why I need a vacation. Tony and I need to get away for a little while. We'll come back refreshed and ready to take on the summer...and the next 10 years.
