Tomorrow we leave for vacation – woohooooo! We are spending the week in Palm Desert with my parents, siblings and their families. Lila is going to get to hang out with her two cousins – Mabel and Reagan. The trip is to celebrate my parent’s 35th wedding anniversary.

We are staying at my parent’s time share in the JW Marriott. And I can tell you now, these are the two places where you can find me.

The current itinerary includes: sleeping in, eating a lot, catching rays, hitting golf balls, playing with babies, reading books, shopping, spa appointments while the daddy’s watch the babes and playing games/cards well into the night. I can’t wait!

I also set up a photographer to come capture our family in photos so we can all have more recent images to put around our homes. I can’t wait to see the photos and share them here with you.

When you live far away from family, these reunions are much more than just a vacation. They’re a chance to reconnect, celebrate and make memories with the people you care about most. A chance to fill up my “relationships” part of my soul.

I’ll probably be quiet the next week, but will report back once we are home. I hope you have a great week while I’m away!
