On the subject of vacations

eee1313It's not even 11:00 yet, and already I've been up, showered, fed, dressed, cleaned the house some, and have seen my parents. Not in that order, obviously. Mom and Dad were supposed to come in today between 10:30 and 11, as Mom's dentist appointment is at 11:30. However, around 9:50 they called to say they were 20 minutes away. Whoops! But I was all dressed and clean before they arrived, and this way the Scientist got to see them a bit before he had to leave for work, which we didn't think was going to happen.
In case I hadn't mentioned it before (I'm not sure if I have or not), Mom and Dad took an early anniversary trip. Their 40th anniversary is this coming April, which is so awesome for them. One of their friends from high school (I KNOW, right?) suggested they go on a cruise with him and some other friends. So even though this was six months early, they did a cruise as their big anniversary celebration. It was a two-week cruise starting in San Diego and then traveling south along the Pacific coast of Mexico, past Central America, through the Panama Canal, and up through the Gulf of Mexico back to Miami. I am jealous, to say the least. But they seemed to have a wonderful time, which is the best-case scenario. And now they've left me with the memory card from their camera, and it's my job to upload all 300+ photos for them, as they're computer-incompetent.
Anyway, it's nice to see my parents again, because they live far away and if it weren't for Mom's emergency dentist trip today I wouldn't be seeing them again until Thanksgiving. So this is nice. When they get back the three of us are going to have lunch before they take off to return to Michigan. Then I'm going to spend the rest of my day doing laundry and packing for the trip next week. I can't believe it's only 4 days away, and Disney World is another 8 days. CRAZINESS. How did this come up on us so quickly? That's just how things work, but it's still one of those "WTF, how'd that happen?" moments.
Okay, that's that. Have a good weekend, everyone. Hope you're all doing well!
