Traveling!

I will be a bit absent from the cyber-waves this week.  We just returned from a trip to see my brother in Oklahoma yesterday and I am leaving tonight for a girls trip to California.  I am super stoked - I have only been to California once and it was an overnight layover for our trip to China.  I basically saw the airport, the inside of our hotel, and the Burger King (YUCK!) at which we ate.  This is an actual trip where we will do actual things.  Some of the items on our agenda:

• Be in the studio audience of the Jay Leno Show (is that what it's called?)
• Go whale-watching
• See Cirque du Soleil
• Check out the beach!
• Eat at In-and-Out Burger
• Purchase a City Pass...and all it includes!

And I'm sure much more.  I am so excited to go on this trip.  Having been home with both my husband and child all summer long, I think it will be nice to get away for a few days.  That's not to say I haven't loved every single minute of time with them this summer.  It has been a wonderful gift to be a family almost 24/7 and something I wouldn't trade for the world.  But we each need some space and I am looking forward to getting some on this trip.  My husband has been so awesome about helping me get ready.  He has done all the laundry and volunteered to do the grocery shopping so I don't have to mess with it between trips.

I'll post pics when I return!
