Going, Going, Gone...

...and back again. I have decided after a two-week break from "real life", that I could get used to being independently wealthy and being able to be on one constant vacation. We were camping the first week of spring break. We had beautiful weather and wonderful friends to share our experience. Oldest Child had another "unicycle dork" to ride with her, so she didn't feel isolated. She has almost mastered her new gianormous unicycle - I told you before we left she would. She proficiently rode around Roosevelt State Park on her "regular" unicycle. One camper even commented, wanting to know where the other half of her bicycle went.

We had beautiful weather every day except the day we were packing up to come home. Then on Monday morning, the girls and I headed off to my old stomping grounds of southeastern West Virginia. It was the longest I've ever driven without Dear Husband. But we made it fine and had a great time. I was able to visit with friends and family I hadn't seen in awhile. Youngest Child was able to help Grandma out in the yard. Oldest Child even guilt-ed Unce Carlito into leaving a whole house full of company to drive two hours to see her.

I will update throughout the week - hopefully with pictures from the trip...depending on how busy my technical assistant is this week. We took great pictures at The Little White House - hopefully it will get Oldest Child some brownie points in Social Studies since that's what they're studying now. The azaleas were beyond beautiful down near Callaway Gardens. A bunch of deer decided to visit us while we were at the Sims Bed and Breakfast (thank you, Anne and Randy, for opening up your home to me and my precious cherubs!).

But for now, after more than 1,300 miles on our vehicles, it's back to real life. Finishing up laundry, groceries, bills, lesson plans, menu planning, etc., etc.
