No, I'm serious. We're all getting in the car and we're leaving town.
For a whole day.
I know. You need a moment. That's okay, you can have one. Here's a story while you compose yourself:
COMPOSURE STORY INTERLUDE
This morning, I'm in my car and I'm driving to work, when suddenly I look to my right and there's this.... strange woman .... who I've never in my life ever seen before. And she's giving me the weird kind of eyeball thing, as if to say "Yo. See my eyeball? Nice, right?" (Which, in her defense, is true. It was a very nice eyeball.) She rolls down her window, and I naturally do the same, because what else am I going to do when some strange eyeball chick pulls up next to me? And she says "You're Jill, right?" And I said "uhhhhhhhhhhhh." No, actually I said "YES!" And she turned out to be my friend XLMIC who blogs here and tweets here. And I said "how did you know??" and then said her real name, because I didn't know how to pronounce XLMIC, and she said "because we have the same car, but yours has an autism sticker on it." I think we've had that conversation before. HEE HEE! That was fun.

END OF COMPOSURE STORY INTERLUDE
So, hubs is on vacation this week, and the kids are out of camp, and I somehow managed to not schedule any clients, so we're all gettin in the car and heading to Monterey to visit the aquarium.
We've been there before, but at the time, Child 2 wasn't even walking yet, and my memory of the trip is pretty much just this:

I'll take pictures. But you don't get to see them. Oh, that's unfortunate for you.
I just made this awkward. I apologize.
Anyway, I'm sure I'll still be tweeting, because I'm pretty sure I'm physically incapable of not doing that, but in the meantime... BYE!

The most positive spin on them I can muster is that "vacations" are small analogies to life for the Puritans: something to suffer through as best you can (endure to the end!), and if you're one of the ones who's got a cow or a little money at the end (or a shred of patience), it proves you were one of the elect, after all. I know that I am not one of the elect, and I am going to hell.
And you went by yourself! You, ma'am, are truly one of the elect.

And my daughter was completely freaked out by my shriek...even though it was a shriek of delight!
