We did a Google Hangout any chance we could. We couldn't do it out at sea, but we found ourselves sitting on a balcony at Margaritaville using their WiFi to talk to our toddlers above the music. So there was only two days the whole week we didn't call back home.

I found myself shaking my head muttering yup through much of it. Ease of transitions, sleep, silence.. are beautiful things.<br />Anyway, this is not complaining or wining. Sometimes you need a break and the break is even better with your spouse.<br />Glad you were able to get away.Larryhttp://larrydbernstein.com/me-myself-and-kids/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385734613853151197.post-58654801855188731682014-10-07T15:51:55.335-06:002014-10-07T15:51:55.335-06:00I stumbled upon your site by the "Things Pare...I stumbled upon your site by the "Things Parents shouldn't say to Non-parents" post.

Not saying it is not important later but when they get to be a bit older you do find more quiet moments where you don't have the same sort of chaos.<br /><br />Sometimes I miss those moments, but not too often. I have grown accustomed to having kids who will sleep in on the weekend. Now I am the one who gets up early, payback is sweet. ;)Jackhttp://www.thejackb.comnoreply@blogger.com
