Let's Go See SYDNI!!

Part of me doesn’t feel like it’s been just shy of two full weeks since we last saw Sydni. The other part of me feels like I haven’t seen her in forever, therefore I couldn’t wait to get to Indiana today to meet up with my parents and her. She’s been doing her monthly stay with Nana and Pappy, but with the distance now over double what it was when we lived in Cincinnati, we voted for a two-week stint instead of just one. We’d taken our break after the July 4 weekend; while we’d enjoyed some time sans toddler, we were more than ready to see her.

We got a late start, 150% due to me, as my husband would argue. We were afraid my parents would be left waiting for nearly an hour for us at the hotel. My poor parents got stuck on the outside of Indianapolis behind a haz-mat spill, and ended up gridlocked in traffic for almost 2 hours. We beat them to the hotel, but thankfully they weren’t too far behind us.

Mom, as usual, was prepared for a picnic feast. We set up camp in the hotel dining area, cooler and all. Let me tell you, my mom doesn’t mess around when it comes to food. J

After the late lunch and some settling in, the five of us headed back up the highway to the Edinburgh outlet malls, where we did some shopping and got some decent exercise after hours of being cramped in vehicles.

One day I’m going to look back and wish I had ten thousand more chances to meet up with my parents after they’ve had Sydni for a week, two weeks, etc. I am so blessed to have the parents I have and even more so that they are the people that they are.

Tomorrow we all head back home. Maybe the USA will get a decent win over Japan in the Women’s World Cup. Who knows.. who knows….
