camping

Friday was the day from hell. By the time Jon arrived home at 5:56 pm, I was completely ready to get away (and possibly never come back!) Luckily we had a car packed with camping gear and goodies, and we had some good friends waiting for us at a campsite in Wisconsin. Izzie and I were on the road at 6:01.

I had made the decision earlier in the week that only Izzie and I would be going on this little getaway. It would give us some girls only bonding time, and allow the boys some time together as well. Jon and I have talked about the idea of having 1 on 1 "dates" with our kids for a while now, but this was the first time we actually pulled it off.

Once we got out the door and on the road, I could feel the stress lifting off of my shoulders. We drove with the windows down and the music cranked up. Izzie clapped and "sang" along in the backseat.

I love camping. There's just something about being outdoors and away from everyday life. This trip was particularly cathartic because we had such fantastic company. The whole weekend was relaxed and fun.
