Heading out of town with a full heart...

I am writing this blog while sitting in a hotel room in Pismo Beach! Adam has a training up here and so we were able to leave the boys with Grandma, Grandpa, Oma and Opa, and Ashley and I tagged along with Adam. Might as well take advantage of a free hotel room that is right on the beach, right?

We had a tough time getting out of the house last night due to Adam's work schedule. He was all set to come home around 6:00 but then got called out to another nasty call. ARGH! We finally left the house around 9:45 last night and go to Pismo Beach at 1:00 a.m. We literally walked in the hotel room, got Ashley settled in the pack and play and fell into bed. Today Adam had to be at his training at 7:30 but I was able to sleep in a little bit. I finally got out of the hotel around 9:00 and headed up to San Louis Obispo to see what was up there. I found a nail place and got a mani/pedi then ate some lunch. After driving around downtown a little bit Ash and I came back to the hotel and took a nap. When Adam was done we drove up to Moro bay and found a cute little Italian place right on the water to have dinner. Now I am watching American Idol, and both Adam and Ashley are passed out. Gosh it is nice to relax! Tomorrow I plan on doing a bit more shopping and then reading by the pool. It's hard work but some body's gotta do it! :)

Before we left yesterday I had to get the boys packed up and over to Adam's parents house for the week. With so much to do it was a quite frustrating day but we made it thru. I was taking them to drop them off and telling Alec about what all was going on this week. Our conversation went like this...

Me, "Alec, you are going to stay at Grandma and Grandpa's house this week, but on Friday Aunt Baba is going to pick you up to take you to Mya's birthday party. After that you are going to spend the night with her.

Alec, "But what about Aaron, is he going to come to the party?"

Me, "Nope, just you! You get to spend all that time with Aunt Baba!"

SO excited Alec, "Mama, that makes my heart sparkle!"

OH. MY. GOSH. How sweet is that? What a wonderful way to explain the feeling of happiness! I swear, that little boy just absolutely amazes me. He makes MY heart sparkle!!!
