When Mark and I first found out we were pregnant, we immediately began talking about a dream baby-moon. We wanted to leave the Trent Monster with my parents and go to Hawaii and relax. Well, the pregnancy began to fly by quicker than we had anticipated, and there was just no time to plan and book a big vacation. We also wanted to take Trent somewhere fun for a weekend before the new baby makes his arrival and that hasn't happened either!
Yesterday, my dad called and said that he hadn't seen Trent in 5 weeks and couldn't stand it anymore, so he and my mom were planning on coming to visit us on Saturday. They wanted Mark and I to take a night off to go do something fun. I immediately hopped on the internet and looked at hotel rates in Reno. It sure isn't Hawaii, but it is a hotel, with a soft bed and room service! I envisioned going to a nice dinner, possibly even getting a couple's massage, and sleeping in late Sunday morning. I couldn't wait to tell Mark all about my plans!
Excitedly, I described my findings for Mark late last night and he began to look at me like I was crazy. Apparently, he already made plans for us to go out with a friend of his, thereby dashing my dreams of a night off. Now, I get to sit there, at a restaurant in our tiny town, and watch him and his fraternity brother get drunk. Doesn't that sound so much better than what I had planned?! Good thing I love this friend of his and I have no doubt that we will have fun tomorrow night but man, I wanted to get away for just a little bit!
Mark did agree however, that we could take Trent to the Monterey Bay aquarium in the next few weeks so maybe, just maybe, we can talk my parents (said with sarcasm because it takes no convincing on my part to get them to agree to watch Trent) into going with us so that they can take Trent back to their house for the night and we can stay in Monterey for the evening :)
There are only 4 weeks left that I can travel, so my fingers are crossed that this will actually happen!
