Hawaii

I have given Brent a hard time in the past for being a hoarder of Skymiles and Hotel Points. Well, I can make fun no more. He saved up enough to send us to Hawaii for our 10-year anniversary. We were gone for a week and although I love my boys and cannot imagine life without them there were some real perks to our time away.

1) I was able to go to bed when I wanted to because I knew that I would determine the time I awoke. (Sadly enough, I still got up at 7:00 am most days because my body and my boobs made me. I was hooked up to that breast pump so often I felt like a cow at a dairy farm!)

2) We only ate at one restaurant in Hawaii that you could order by number and that was just before we left the island. We were trying to reacclimate our bodies getting them ready for the real world again and I secretly just missed it.

3) When getting ready to go anywhere, I only had to factor in time for how long it takes ME to get ready and what I would wear. I didn't once have to ask anyone if they brushed their teeth, needed to go potty, wiped, or washed their hands. (If Brent failed to do any of the above, that was his issue. This Mommy was on vacation!)

We had a really nice time and I enjoyed just about every moment. I did drop my cell phone in the swimming pool:( All that being said, I think both Brent and I had just enough Hawaii by the end. Although we are husband and wife and have much fun together and enjoyed reconnecting. We are a family of five and we were missing three. I mean, Brent and I are funny but the boys, they are FUNNY!
