Alberto and I are headed to Puerto Vallarta today...for an entire week, ALL ALONE. I can't believe we're going on a vacation without Isla - OMG! But, I know she's going to be in good hands with my Mom while we're gone. I came up with this bright idea to give her a gift every day that we're gone. So, she'll have something to look forward to every day. She's going to get Bucky (Jake's ship - yeah, the pirate), a new interactive laptop, the Jolly Roger (yup - Cpt Hook's ship), roller skates, hula hoops and new sidewalk chalk, a creative ice cream Lego Duplo set, new sand toys and a couple new watering cans, and a Buzz Lightyear figurine! I asked my mom to take photos of each day, so, I'm excited to get to see her face when she opens up all the toys. I also came up with a schedule for my Mom and Isla as well. I planned something for them to do mostly everyday (my Mom will get some alone time while she's at school from 8-3p Mon/Wed/Fri). They'll go to the park (a different one each time) a couple times, they'll go to Jenni and Tommy's Kids Unplugged (an indoor play place), they'll go to gymnastics, they'l go do a fun craft @ Lakeshore Learning, and they'll also go to one of the local splash pads, too. Since I'm so "type-A", having a plan for them helps to ease my anxiety about leaving her for 8 days and 7 nights. Plus, it makes it easier for my Mom...she doesn't have to plan anything!
Crossing my fingers that all goes well and that my Mom doesn't want to kill Isla by day 2! hehe
Obviously, I won't be posting while we're away. But, much like I did with our California trip, I will do a recap and post some photos from our trip when we return.
Until then...ciao! Wait - that's Italian. Despedida! Apparently, that's "goodbye" in Spanish. I had no idea!
