Vacation

I just booked my first vacation without PJO since before we were married. My cousin is getting married back in Iowa this summer and it's going to be a fun family reunion. Unfortunately, PJO won't be able to take any time off work since he just switched jobs in April. So, Timmy, myself and my two younger brothers will be traveling to the Midwest for six days at the end of July.

The wedding is in the small town on the Mississippi river where my mom grew up, a dark hole of aviation really. The nearest major airport is 3 hours away. I thought this would be a fun opportunity to have a little vacation with my brothers, so we are flying in and out of Chicago. I've never spent any time in the city and I don't think my brothers have either. We arrive there on my baby brother's birthday, so we'll be taking him to dinner, museums and enjoying some sightseeing.

The thought of spending nearly a week alone with Timmy and without the comforts of home nearby is somewhat intimidating. But I'm sure PJO will enjoy playing video games and being a bachelor so much that he'll jump at the chance to give me some baby-free time at the end of it all.
