Woooohoooo!
Well, for Pooldad.
I am on a perpetual vacation. heehee
We didn't get a vacation last summer because Pooldad took off so much time when I was in the hospital he didn't think it was fair to his co workers to take off more time to "just relax". Yep, he is a good guy like that - so he ended up with a week that he had to take before the end of March of this year. [Their vacation/sick leave schedule runs April to April.]
How fortuitous as Squirrel has next week off from college and we are picking her up tomorrow [squeeeee!] and I will spend Saturday relaxing [recovering] from that trip because Sunday we are off to:
Myrtle Beach, SC
YAY! Sort of. It is a little bitter sweet because we are going down to help LA! finish with my Mom's estate and see Mom's home one more time. Okay - that will be a little hard, but....but!
Here are the bonuses to the trip:
- 11 days with my husband [11 days? That thud you heard was me fainting from my good fortune. hee]
- Squirrel is with us for 11 days!
- Wallene will be off a whole week from school with us
- It has to be warmer in SC - it just has to be - it better be
- I get to see my sister - for days! [She does have to work - boo! - but nights are good.]
- I get to meet Bouncin' Barb and her boyfriend Bruce and deliver Champagne. YAY!
It's the awesomeness! Isn't it?
We have a couple of logistical problems to work out - like how to move all the furniture back to VA and where to put the bazillion boxes my sister just told me we have to bring back [can the dogs ride on the roof?] and the trip is the longest one I have taken in years, so I am a little worried how I am going to hold up, but...
I'll figure it out - it's all good. :)
[Oh, I just realized I have to pack. Yuck. I'll do that Saturday.]
Have a great one Tadpoles. Make it the best day you can!

Hooray for vacations! I know it will be tiring for you, but you'll have a great time.
I've used up vacation time for the last few years for my husband - but I figure we'll just have a staycation!
Can't wait for the recap! I was in Hilton Head last June - hope the weather cooperates!
That all sound wonderful, Skippy! Try to rest as much as you can (if you are able, of course) before all these trips, but won't it be wonderful for you to all be together, and to meet BB & Bruce. How cool is that?! As I said before, please take lots of photos for the Blogs!! Keep well dear friend and have a lovely time.
Have a great time!
Can't wait...regardless of the weather. We'll build a bonfire if we have to.
