Women's Retreat
I had decided not to go on our church women's retreat this year, since it seemed like a lot of work to bring Emily. Alasdair is out of town again though, and I wasn't looking forward to a long weekend alone. I visited Amanda on Friday, and since her husband was going to be gone too, we we discussing whether one of us could put a baby down at the other's house... when we remembered that the women's retreat was this weekend (at the Jersey Shore), and it was going to be warm & sunny... and decided it was time for an adventure. We called and found out that there was still room, packed up my car and headed out in time for Emily & Madda's afternoon naps. While not the most relaxing beach trip(!), it was a success. Both girls slept most of both car rides (2-3 hours), Amanda & I were able to hear most of two of the large group sessions, and make it to the beach three times! (If Emily hadn't decided that 230-4am was a really fun time to play with Mommy, the trip would have been about perfect...)
