You Know...

You know what you forget when you don't travel without kids for a while? How absolutely inefficient and selfish you can be. I spent the entire plane ride reading or watching a movie. No one needed help going to the bathroom. No fights needed mediation. It was lovely. I'm sure for seasoned business travelers, the thrill of such downtime is gone, but for homebodies like me, it was great.

And then this morning. I got up at the same time as Tim, who had to be at his conference at 7:30am. I was all set to go work out when I realized that if I went out at that moment, I would be done at 9ish, nothing would be open, and I would have hours and hours ahead of me. So I was lazy. And slow. I blogged. I unpacked. I read. Eventually, I did get around to working out. Even though I am generally an indoor runner, the trail along the lake was too pretty for me to be inside.

And it was a good thing I chose outside, because the gym here is beyond substandard. 

I'm looking forward to lunch with Tim, if he ever gets out of his conference, and spending the afternoon lollygagging around downtown. While I will love seeing my kids in a few days, I am seriously enjoying just taking care of me. And I was worried I would be bored! So far, this is a great vacation.
