This weekend my friend Tracey and I went on an overnight trip. On Saturday morning, we left at 9am and we got home yesterday at 1pm. We spent all day Saturday at Six Flags and spent the night at a hotel. It wasn’t a big expensive trip but it was a really great get away from our usual stay-a-home-mom thing. We spent our time leisurely doing whatever we wanted, with no schedule or kids depending on us. It was all about what we wanted to do! Imagine that!!! Ever since I first became sleep deprived after Jack was born, I have had a fantasy about checking into a hotel by myself and sleeping all day, undisturbed. Well, this mini trip beat that fantasy. We had a great day at the park, a really nice dinner with drinks at a restaurant after, and then went back to a comfy and quiet hotel room to relax. I don’t usually sleep great in hotel beds, especially without my hubs, but Saturday night I got some of the best sleep of my life! The bed was super comfortable and I slept like a rock. We woke up around the same time, did some more relaxing, and had some coffee. Check out time wasn’t until noon so we didn’t have to rush around and hurry for anything. We just leisurely went about our day. After check out, we went to breakfast and then headed home.
The only down side to the trip was when Tracey and I were having lunch at Six Flags. I saw a man and a woman walk by us and the woman was carrying a backpack on her front, a backpack on her back, and had bags and each hand. The man walking with her was carrying nothing. I said to Tracey “what’s with that Dude? Can’t he carry something?” As they continued by, Tracey noticed that he only had one arm. I think the man may have noticed me motioning to them as I was talking about them to Tracey. I still feel like a total jerk about this incident.
