I was going to tag along with dh to Seattle when he was going down for work.  So, we used a mileage ticket, got good deals on a nice hotel and rental car through Expedia, and were all set when dh called from work one day and said that his trip had been cancelled!  Ack!  BUT, his boss gave him the days off!  So, now his work won't be reimbursing any of the trip, and we had to change my flights to ones with 2 mileage seats available, but now we have 4 days in Seattle just the three of us!  M will be going with us (of course!) but my parents are keeping two of the kids and the other two are going to stay with a large homeschooling family from church!

The kids are really excited about staying with grandparents and friends.  We are excited about getting away for a few days!  We are going to do touristy things one day, drive to Portland on Sunday for church and visiting with friends, one day shopping, and one day doing whatever suits our fancies. 😉  I am really looking forward to having dh all to myself (for the most part) for that long.  I am hoping we get some good conversations going, and just enjoy each other!

Well, I better go get the kids to bed and finish packing.  Tomorrow will probably prove to be hectic, and I don't want to lose my temper…sigh….

I will have to give an update with we return…or maybe while we are there, if I get bored!  We will have dh's laptop with us, and the hotel has highspeed internet. 😉
