Steve had a business trip to CA that popped up with very short notice…it was a couple’s trip so I tagged along. Thankfully we have Gran & Poppy living close to us now so they happily came over to pick up Olivia for a few days. The trip is a great perk, but the problem is that we already had a vacation planned for Jackson Hole, WY.....a Mommmy & Daddy trip b/c we planned to do lots of hiking....not ideal for a 2 1/2 year old so Liv was going to stay home. Ginnie flew to Jax to take care of her.
We were gone for 5 days on the CA trip, then home for 3 days, and then heading to Jackson Hole for 8 days. Both trips were great, but just way too long away from Livie. The CA trip really messed up our WY trip! CA was perfect...cooler weather....golf for Daddy & massages for Mommy....good wine (we stayed at a resort on a vinyard)....quality rest. And the first couple of days in Jackson Hole was great, too....but then we were REALLY ready to just go home and see Olivia. It was really hard being away from her that long! We were pretty wimpy on about day 3...even checked for early flights home but couldn't find anything b/c it was the week before Labor Day. We snapped out of it a bit and talked ourselves into having fun, but we were still counting down the days until we could go home.

In the end, everyone had a good time....Livie had a great time with all her grandparents! Quality time for Mommy & Daddy, and quality time for Liv & the grandparents!
