I saw Barb this week for an impromptu visit as she and her girlfriend Stephanie headed up the 101 to Morro Bay.  Stephanie is Barb’s friend from Minnesota, a girl I have seen countless pictures of from Girl’s Weekend or Key West or whatever various other things.  I was kind of jealous that these two women were taking off and driving up the coast for the next few days.

It reminded me that I need a little break.  I need a break from being a wife and from being a mom and from being a housekeeper and chef.  I need a break to get back to ME, just me and let everything else fall away.  I don’t see it happening anytime soon, but it was good to realize that I need it as soon as I can swing it.

Thanks, Barb and Stephanie, for helping me remember who I was before I had a baby.  I used to travel spontaneously at least five times a year, and I almost forgot what that was like.  Who knows, maybe you’ll just see me at the next Girl’s Weekend!

Enjoy Morro Bay and the California coast.  It’s a beautiful place to be…I’m with you guys in spirit!
