Alone


John did it!  He only missed one flight, but he got the kids to Hawaii on his own.  Apparently, the kids were great travelers and they were greeted by cousin Richard and Gregg after 24 hours of travel.

Meanwhile, I don't think I've been alone in my house for more than a night in over 10 years.  It was a bit unsettling....... While there was a part of me that was really excited to have some time for myself, it also felt really weird to be without my team.  Granted, I had a lot to do with wrapping up school, but it was so strange to only make decisions for myself.  In the morning, I just had to make coffee and get myself out the door.  After work I didn't have to worry about who was where after school.  I could actually guiltlessly get out for a ski and then grade papers instead of making dinner.  Or I could just 
eat cereal for dinner.  But it was wonderful to get out for an early morning ski and then get the following photos of my family in Hawaii:





I am so glad that John and the kids were able to get to Hawaii early and get the most out of their time there.  Bobbie and Dick were so generous about letting them stay at her house and Damon and Gregg were fun adventure buddies.
