Mini-Vaca Day 1

Peanut: Is today becation day?

Me: yes later this afternoon we will leave for vacation 

Peanut: today?

She's not into the "why", she's into confirming "today or now?"

Me: yes today

Peanut: this is so esciting!

Little later...

Peanut: I love becation day!

Me laughing: me too!

I didn't want to go far for vacation and it's been years since I went to Indianapolis, so it's perfect. So far our plans are to go to the children's museum and the race car museum, after that it's just relaxing. Well as much as 2 toddlers will let us

And like always, I leave stuff for the last minute when leaving for vacation. With no time to spare I decided to...

1. Make homemade blueberry scones Wednesday morning before the girls got up

2.  Dropped off the girls at the grandparents so I could go to the gym (gotta get that last minute exercise session)

3. Last minute pedicure

4. Last minute purchase of a new lightweight stroller - which also needed to be put together. 

We are so blessed with 2 sets of amazing grandparents, who will put up with my "last minutes."  Today it was my parents who did this.  They watched the kids all morning, put together the stroller and fed them breakfast and lunch. 

I/we did it all by the time DH got home at 12:15. Here are my little helpers

12:30 - we are on the road

She barely made it out the subdivision before she passed out 

Amazingly we made it to Indy without a hitch, or tantrums or melt-downs. Absolute miracle!

I booked a suite so that DH and I could enjoy tv and happy hour after we put the girls to bed. We get to our room and living room doesn't have a tv. No biggie I'll just rearrange the living rm furniture (I always rearrange furniture in hotel rooms - don't you? Thought so) so that the girls are in the living room and we can watch tv in the bedroom. As I'm pushing the arm chair against the wall, DH finds out the frig doesn't work. Ugh 

10min later new room, working frig, tv in the living room - life is good again!

We check out the local brewery for dinner and bring home a 6 pack for our happy hour. 

As we get the girls settled and ready for bed, Peanut got to experience live tv vs her "on demand" Disney and PBS. She wasn't very keen on this, but I was able to find an old episode of Full House - and she fell in love just like her momma

Sweet dreams
