Adventures in Kentucky

The boys and I are tagging along with Daddy during a two week business trip to Bowling Green, KY.  We decided the boys would rather go along that miss Daddy for that long.  Plus this way I still get help with the boys at night. 

Some people have had the nerve to call this vacation.  Rest assured this is NOT vacation!!   Between the sleep deprivation, attempting to childproof a hotel room, entertaining the boys in a SMALL town and just plain old surviving this is the furthest thing from vacation.  I fondly remember vacation and it is far more relaxing, involves seeing some fun sights, enjoying good restaurants....  Our last vacation was actually with a child...baby Jack and pregnant with Ewan.  Thanks to Oma and Opa we enjoyed a wonderful vacation at Glacier National Park (they took us and Uncle Nick there for Oma's 60th birthday bash).  So vacation is possible with kids, it just takes extra help!!!  I am so looking forward to our next vacation, again thanks to Oma and Opa (their 40th anniversary bash).  Hopefully D3 won't ruin it (just weeks before delivery)!!!

Anyway, we're surviving right now. The boys both got colds shortly after we got here.  That means Ewan is coughing at night which means less sleep!!  We got a humidifer which helped, but still no real good sleep yet. We're on a totally different schedule too since the boys and I take Daddy to work at 6:30 AM.  That means they are getting up earlier than they are used to, also staying up a little later.  Needless to say they nap almost right after lunch now!!

We found a fun park and we'll got there again this afternoon.  This weekend we'll find some more fun stuff to do with Daddy.  Otherwise there isn't a whole lot to do for just me and the boys. 

In the meantime it's pure exhaustion and survival mode around here!!!
