Vacation Separation

by Meghan on July 5, 2010

So my husband and I have separated.

For a week.

He’s in Canada, eh, at a fancy lodge on an island, which he had to take a HELICOPTER to get to.  He’ll spend his days on a boat in the ocean fishing for salmon and halibut.  His evenings will be spent fireside with an adult beverage and the company of his father.

Sounds lovely, doesn’t it?

I decided the boys and I would take the opportunity to visit my mom outside Sacramento. I’ve spent the last two evenings on the porch with a glass of water while other people enjoyed an adult beverage.  Pregnancy makes vacation less fun.

Anyway, the boys are having a great time.  There has been swimming and visits to the Farmers Market and bike races in the cul-de-sac.

Today we’re supposed* to go visit Andrea and her kids.  We’re spending tomorrow in San Francisco, Wednesday we’re having lunch with Emmie and Thursday we’re going to the River Cats game.  I’m kind of tired just thinking about it all.

I think our separation will go by quickly for both of us.

We had such a busy day yesterday that we went to bed before the fireworks even started.

But we hope you had a great 4th of July!

*Our trip hasn’t been without drama.  Zach woke up last night and threw up a few times.  I’m *hoping* it was due to excessive amounts of pool water consumed, but I’m not 100% convinced.  This little episode has put our trip to Andrea’s in jeopardy.  Kids make vacation less fun.  Heh.

Shit, don’t do that to me! I was like… OH NO! :)

I hope the little guy is feeling better, and I hope you enjoy your visits. :)

That is so weird that your son threw up yesterday. My little guy did too. I chalked it up to eating something that didnt settle, the heat, or drinking too much pool water. We have been fine since yesterday, so Im going to assume its not a bug. Hope your little guy just drank too much pool water :)

Holy hell dude! Way to freak the shit out of me. I was all “OMG” until I read the second line. That’s just mean.
Hope Zach’s feeling better and you get your visits in. I’m totally jealous you get to spend time with two awesome women like that

Aren’t vacations always tiring it seems? And someone always gets sick! Poor guy. I went to Hawaii with my mom and sis and ending up in the ER the 1st night with a a bad case of bronchitis

Too much pool water does indeed=vomit. My poor son got so sick I rushed him to the doc. He was fine like 3 hours later. Enjoy your vacation.
