After our trip to Florida last month, I’m a firm believer that a date night does nothing—I repeat, nothing—to prepare you for what it feels like to go on a trip without kids. But leave Kid Duty to someone else for forty-eight or seventy-two hours, and it’s a whole different story.
I’m posting today over at Real Zest. Hope you’ll come visit me there! (Note to early readers–the post is up now at this link.)

I am sorry for the delay! We had to get our timezones straightened out. Apparently we’re still California dreaming. 🙂
