Blossom'sGirl Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Our anniversary is May 4th so getting away would be nice. Going to Colonial Williamsburg would be great. We can easily drive there in half a day but ..... I know DH would really NOT be into it. It sounds so interesting to me but I don't want to "torture" DH for our anniv. He says sign us up but I know he would be doing it for me not us. Just sharing - I need to go and be productive now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesloonybin Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 What does he like to do...maybe you could find something for him to do while you go to the workshops. Then you could have an extra day to do things together and maybe find a really special place to have dinner one night. Our Anniversary is May 6th.

G5052 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm a part-time CC professor, and the next week is finals week. Typically the weekend before I get piles of emails in a panic over the "end." I'll also have projects to grade that whole weekend. Yes, I could take my laptop, but what kind of vacation is that? If I go to a homeschool event (which is where my heart is), I want to BE there. Andrew Pudewa is also going to be in Virginia next month, so I'll probably do that instead. Besides, for that one I can leave at dawn and be home for dinner. :001_smile: Oh well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessedfamily Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Michelle, If it makes you feel better, When Queen Elizabeth came for the Jamestown anniversary year before last, Prince Philip went over to play on the big ships at the Naval base in Norfolk. He found something to do while she did her thing. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blossom'sGirl Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 shouldn't we be together if we are going to go away. I am also sweating farming out 4 kids over 2-3 days. Seriously, the longest we have been away was for 1 night since our oldest was born. That's just sad. It would be nice if we could do conference, bring the kids, and just keep going to the Outer Banks for the following week. The beach is his natural habitat. I think I just want spring most of all. The cold, cold air here is wearing on me. I do like the Queen and Prince comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessedfamily Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Oh...how I am wishing for spring too! To tell you the truth, I understand your predicament: wanting to be together for your anniversary, and not wanting to leave the kids. If you decide to go...... Couldn't you do some of the conference lectures, and not all? Does he golf? There's plenty of golfing right there. Busch Gardens is an absolutely beautiful amusement park, and will be open. Just brainstorming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
