Dad-oo and I have our 5th anniversary and vacation coming up, and I’m SOOOOOOO excited. We’re taking a few days to visit Seattle, and probably a [amazonify]B0018AHMCA::text::::Starbucks[/amazonify] or two, if they have any. I’ve wanted to go to Seattle since, oh I would say, the beginning of time.
But, that does of course mean spending time away from Eli. It’s not the first time I’ll be away from him, Dad-oo and I have taken overnight trips 4 or 5 times now without any incidents. But this time, it will be 5 days until I can see Eli again. 5. Whole. Days. I’m not sure that I can make it. Thank goodness for cell phones. And I would say web cams, but I don’t think we’ll have enough time to teach Grandma and Grandpa how to use it before we leave.
So, Eli (and the pugs too!) is staying with Dad-oo’s parents while we are gone. It’s going to be a fun-filled, activity-planned extravaganza. I’m so grateful to know that he will be in good, loving hands. And I have a feeling that Eli will be a little spoiled while we’re gone and we’ll probably have to do some damage control when we get back. But that’s what grandparents are for after all. If they don’t do the spoiling, who would? Eli will be loved until his head explodes, and that’s the important part.
I’m really looking forward to some time away from real life, I really need a break. And I’m really looking forward to the indie music scene that Seattle has to offer. And did I mention Starbucks? I thought so. I’ll probably come back shaking, jittery and even more addicted to coffee, if that’s even possible. And of course, home sick for Eli.
