We have returned back to Texas from our incredibly relaxing cruise. It was very enjoyable for both my husband and myself. I can't remember the last time we spent so much time on each other. I hope and pray that we will be able to do something like that every year. All things considered it was a challenge being apart from the kids. I called when I could to check in on them and they were always having a great time. I doubt they even missed us.
I do have to tell about dropping them off. I did the exchange to leave our kiddos with my parents at their airport. I had flown in with my two and met my dad curbside. I strapped them in to his car and said my goodbyes but my oldest finally had figured out that I was in fact leaving. He started to cry and scream and beg me to stay with them. It was completely heart wrenching and I cried as I left. My dad said that the crying subsided after a few minutes of his coaching him to calm down and that there were no more tears like that again.
I know that our kiddos were a challenge for my parents to take care of and I am sure it will take them a week to recover from the exhaustion. I so appreciate the sacrifice they made to help my husband and I have some time together. Maybe they will do this again for us someday!
