Roomies Reunite

Many months ago Whitney and I decided I needed to come see her. It’s been too long, we needed to hang out. So Philip booked me a flight, Whitney got some time off, and the countdown began. 

I started getting more and more anxious about leaving my kids, especially Parker. He is such a mommas boy and I knew he wouldn’t understand why I wasn’t there to get him up in the morning and put to sleep at night. So there were tears from both of us when I left for the airport, but they didn’t last too long. 

I got in Wednesday evening and Whitney picked me up and we went to Disney Springs for dinner. We had pizza and walked around, catching up. We met Steve back at their house and hung out until I fell asleep on the couch (shocker). She decorated her guest room in picture of my kids so I wouldn’t miss them too much. She also had a fan by my bed because she knows I get hot. 

The next morning Steve made us breakfast and we ate it outside on their patio while we watched some men  fishing. She got my favorite coffee creamer. She’s the best. Then Whitney and I packed up and drove to Disney’s Vero Beach Resort. 

We went straight to the beach, obviously. That night we got pedicures and found a Thai restaurant, because that’s what we do. 

The next day, we had coffee and raisinets for breakfast, and I had to drag her out of bed so we could spend the morning back at the beach. 

Once we both had gotten more than enough sun we drove back to her house. We went to Mannys steakhouse for dinner and then went to Epcot. We rode a boat ride and she made us watch some show about the history of America (I took a nap). 

It was a quick trip but so good for our souls. The week before I was questioning why I thought it was a good idea to leave my kids for 3 nights. Philip assured me it was good to get away. {Even though his phone didn’t charge and his alarm didn’t go off the first morning I was gone, thankfully mom was taking the kids to school and woke him up. } He did a great job at shuttling the kids, taking care of them and helping them have fun. I’m lucky I have such a great husband who loves us all so well. And maybe next year I might get crazy and add another night to my trip:)
