that winter lull

Here we are again, winter is upon us.  Actually, as I write this, it is unseasonably mild.  Mild?  Yes, although ask someone that last week at this time and we were downright frozen!  Ontario winter is here and alot of our friends are abuzz making their winter 'get the h*ll out of here' vacation plans.  Some more fortunate friends have already been away and planning their next trip!  You know who you are ;0)

I'm happy to say that we have booked our getaway as well.  We will be escaping to the sunny (better be!!) south on Feb 13th!  This trip all along was with the thinking that Mom and Dad would be accompanying us....so I started planning accordingly.  Then Dad changed his mind - unbeknownst to Mom.  Oh yes, that casued some sudden drama!  After Mom and I finished that conversation, she asked me to give her a couple hours and not to book quite yet.  I waited and two hours later, she called back and said "We're going!".  I can only imagine how that conversation went down!  Way to go Mom....we are thrilled they will be with us on this trip. Our third trip together....three of many more I am hoping.

And this one is all adult - the four of us.  No munchkins on this one.  Eat, sleep, drink...whenever we please.  Breakfast in bed or on our balcony overlooking the ocean - oh yes, at least a couple of mornings!  Dance til the wee hours - oh, believe it!  Soak up every inch of sunshine, snorkel, swim, parasail, and whatever may come up that we may want to try or do.  That will be the four of us enjoying every moment.

Okay, now that guilt feeling is coming out.  Creeps out when I enjoy my fantasy of my 9 nights away.  Yes, I feel it.  At times...but it dwindles....comes back, butts into my wonderful visions of Mommy and Daddy  husband and wife enjoying their time together - fully. 

Truth is though....they are going to have the most wonderful time themselves.  We have Aunt Debo and Mama flying up to care for the boys.  Even Uncle Bill will be up towards the end of the week to spend time as well. The boys will absolutely LOVE IT!  Aunto Debo, Uncle Bill and Mama will LOVE IT! 

This one's for us - the parents, the married couple, the lovers, the friends, just the two of us....with wonderful company when we all are inclined! Heavenly, yummy and blissful.  Can't wait!!
