vacation

Justin is on vacation this next week. We have a bunch of fun stuff planned.

~A night away at the ocean. Gotta love the winter rates of 1/2 off rooms on weeknights. We're looking forward to playing in the indoor pool with the boys and playing on the beach if the weather is nice enough.

~Our Polar Express train ride and night in Portland. I really hope this lives up to my expectations, because they are set pretty high. The boys should love it.

~And Justin surprised me with another night away. A night at a local hotel with a package including a spa service and dinner at their restaurant. Sounds pretty good right? The best part is...I get to go all by myself! Don't judge me. I love my family, but boy could I use a break! I am going to take books to read and maybe movies. I'm going to get a massage and take 20 baths if I choose to. I'm going to sleep in as long as I went without having to worry about kiddos waking up in the morning or needing me in the middle of the night. I'm going to have someone cook and serve me dinner and I don't even have to worry about the dishes. It was quite the splurge for Justin to plan, and I feel bad that we're spending all that money (that we should be saving) on something just for me. But I've decided my sanity is important too. And that night will be worth every penny to me.


So look forward to some fun pictures over the next week from our adventures!
