What's a little holiday between friends?

What is your favorite holiday memory? (And yes, you can pick any holiday, including your birthday.)

I love holidays. I especially love the kind of holiday when we don't have to go anywhere. I suppose if I was going to retain my crown of "Wonderful Mother" I would write something here about the special times we have spent with our kids, the experiences we have had in far away places or discovering new wonders close to home... but I never liked crowns anyway.

The best holiday I have ever had was last year when Jason and I had 3 whole days together with no work and no kids. It. Was. MAGICAL. We ate out, wandered around the shops, saw a movie, slept in... did all the stuff we imagine people without kids do all the time. After three days we were ready to see the kids again, true, but my goodness we enjoyed life without them!

We love our kids. We really, really do. And we enjoy spending time with them. But... how can we miss them if they won't go away?

  1. Great holidays. I liked our times at Shelley Beach. And all the other times. Any time I did not have to work.
