Take me away

Today is like my Monday since I stay home on Mondays to spend time with Austin.  I got to work this morning and hit the ground running with a super busy week.  I found out that tomorrow I am off to Cedar City, UT which is 85 miles away for a work meeting.  I was a bit irritated since it's for a committee collaboration and we are supposed to rotate the meetings so everyone has to travel once and a while, but they hosted the last meeting too.  I have to get a bunch of stuff ready this afternoon for that meeting.  Then Friday is the annual open house for tribal members.  I have to get my presentation all ready, but I'm not too stressed about it.  Some of my co-workers have jobs that put them on the hot seat, but I am lucky and have a job that most people appreciate.

Last night we booked our reservations for our annual anniversary vacation celebration in two weeks.  We were holding out to see if we heard anything back about the Colorado job, because if we got it we would go and house hunt, but we have not so we decided to go to San Diego, California.  I have been there for work and loved it, but I didn't get to do any of the sight seeing stuff.  Last year we went to northern California for our trip and it rained the whole time.  Even so we took Austin to the beach for the first time and he was in love, so cross your fingers that the weather is good for us in San Diego and Austin can play at the beach and maybe go swimming too.  We booked a Homewood Suites by Hilton in Del Mar.  It has a kitchenette and a separate bedroom, so we thought it would be more comfortable for the three of us. 

We will drive there on Friday, then stay until nap time on Monday at which time we will drive half way home to Primm, NV where we booked a room.  They have a buffalo shaped pool, so that should be pretty fun for Austin.  We were thinking on Saturday, my 33rd birthday, we would go to the beach and relax.  Sunday we would like to do Sea World.  We were thinking of doing another attraction Monday morning, but they are pretty expensive for only a half day so we may just go back to the beach.  I am so ready for a vacation!!!
