We are on the verge of a new adventure. We may be one Spencer less in the family, but we will carry on. He left for Iraq late last night and we got up early and hit the road. I'm taking it easy meaning NOT driving 9 hour days. We've stopped in Streetsboro, OH which is 6 hours from Northern Virginia. And we really lucked out. I will forever praise TripAdvisor.com. They have never let me down. I wasn't completely familiar with the Wingate by Wyndham brand of hotel, but I love it. This is a great place. Indoor swimming pool, in-room fridge, microwave, free wi-fi and the room is huge!
After two hours of swimming, we went across the street to the SuperWal-Mart. Yep, right across the street. While we were snagging some Kid Cuisines in the freezer section, Jacqueline decides to drop. She was exhausted. We were all up late, saying good-bye to Spencer, and then we were up at 6:30am. Dashing back across the street, I enticed her with promises of pudding and pizza if she just stayed awake. She did. They were thrilled with this little treat and everyone inhaled everything. I made myself a provolone, turkey & ham on ciabatta bread. I may or may not be eating chocolate covered doughnuts that were intended for the kid's dessert. I'll share. Eventually.
P.S.
Spence just called me and he got there safely.

I am so glad that he arrived safely. Even though he has been through the Middle East it has to be a totally different world. But that label at the bottom made me sad (the life w/o Spence one, how often does he come home on this post?) Safe travels and we will talk to you soon!
Lydia, you'll do great. :) I don't envy you, but I think you'll do great!
Enjoy your travels, and so glad to hear that Spencer's trip went well :)
You are officially a super duper mom in my book. How do you do it?
