The year seemed to pass with rapid speed and it was time to adjust all finalize ideas and adjust to the thought of leaving our 3 kids behind. Really I was ok with the thought, as they are all of an age to take care of themselves. All the activities kept them busy and we couldn't stress enough what we expected of them. They couldn't wait till the trip was underway!

On April 3rd, I awoke at the crack of dawn! LOL, I was a little excited. Well this was going to be a very long day, but we filled the time with all the last minute paper work and handled other things. With it being Easter Weekend, We colored some Easter eggs. The kids planned a nice Dinner with their Grandma and Aunti.

I was packed and ready to go, however our flight was not until 7:10 P.M. We finally loaded the car about 5. Julia, Sabrina and Jacob drove us to the airport. On the way there, Liz, my good friend and travel buddy texted away. All of the sudden Steve remembers his phone, so we had to turn around to retrieve it! Finally,we hugged and kissed and hugged our kids some more. As they drove away, They were cheering and yelling "We're Free" shaking my head, I said a silent prayer to keep them safe and for them to just behave.
