VACATION DAY! YIPPEE! Any vacation day is a day in paradise!
This would be my kind of paradise. A little cabin in the mountains. Maybe someday!
Had a great time in Manhattan yesterday. It was an early start though, as Brandon ended up having to work 2pm-11pm. We got up there early, hung out for a while, took the boys to Old Chicago for lunch, and then headed back when Brandon went to work. I got some video of the fun car ride up there, but haven't figured out how to load my new Flip Video on my computer yet. I'm missing some ingredient in Microsoft, and have to download it and see if that helps. I hope to get that accomplished today. Anyway, Brandon's car is tiny - a Toyota Corolla - and here you have these 4 adults riding in close quarters when we are used to a van or a Suburban. It was quite hilarious. We all took turns driving. It sort of reminded me of a trip we took to visit Corby's folks in Dumas, Texas when the kids were really little. We owned a Corscia at the time, and had 3 cars seats in the back seat. I think Brandon was about 3 1/2 and the twins were 1 1/2. We swore after that MISERABLE trip that we would never travel again without a bigger vehicle - and we haven't until now. We actually enjoyed it this time - though around the last 30 minutes or so we all put on our I-pods, MP-3's, CD players, etc. and listened to our own music. Well, not me, as I was driving at that point. All in all, A FUN TRIP!
Now I'm all set for a day of finishing laundry, cleaning (maybe, if I can get myself motivated) and perhaps watching a movie all by myself. What a luxury!
