Greetings from the Great Northwoods of Wisconsin!

As you can tell, we made it and all in one piece . . . thankfully . . . but not without some unexpected fun!

I was pretty nervous about Kid #2. She still hadn't eaten much in the morning on the 23rd, and was still grumbling about her stomach. But by the time we left to meet Hubby at his parents' house, she had eaten some, and was telling me she was feeling much better.

YIPPEE!!!

Then we were waiting for Hubby to arrive. He was supposed to be finishing up on a file for a client . . . but it took him MUCH longer than he expected. The next thing I knew, we were only 2 hours away from our flight, and we were still a 1/2 an hour to 45 minutes away from SFO! I ended up driving like a bat-out-of-hell to get us there (while he was on the phone the whole time). BUT, we made it to the airport, had parked, and checked in with about 10 minutes to spare before they started boarding our flight.

WHEW!!!

The flight itself was uneventful, as was the drive up here. Even though we didn't get to our destination until 3 AM on the 24th.

Poor Hubby spent the first 2 days stuck to the phone trying to get his client dealt with in California. Thankfully, everything worked out as of yesterday, and he's finally getting a chance to relax.

For me, however, I've spent most of my time what I usually do when I'm here on vacation . . . running around with the kids. The difference is, this year, Kids #1 & 2 are more independent so I'm not feeling like I need to hover over their every move.

Of course, that doesn't yet work with Kid #3 . . . yet.

Unfortunately, the cabin I'm staying in doesn't have Internet access, so I have to go to the cabin next door. That's why I'm not updating until now.

The good news is, I'm all set for a new "What I've read this summer . . ." and I'll post that tomorrow.

In the mean time . . . it's on to the Dari-Maid!
