Lauren has been counting down the days since the beginning of the week for our upcoming Easter weekend getaway. "Mommy, 3 more days until vacation." Then the next evening, "Mommy, 2 more days until vacation! I am so excited!" My E has also been counting down in her own way. A few days after we got back from our last vacation (skiing), she asked when she could sleep in a hotel again!
Next week is Spring break for the kids and normally, I would have taken the week off to spend time w/ them. But five weeks into a new job, it didn't seem like a good time to take off. I'm on a huge learning curve as it is!
Nevertheless, especially with all the traveling I did last month, I wanted to do something special w/ the girls. After hearing about this place from one of my school-mom-friends, I decided to check it out: Rocking Horse Ranch in Highland, NY. It's a top-rated, all inclusive family resort. As its name implies, there is unlimited horseback riding in addition to fun activities like an indoor water park, nightly entertainment, and food prepared by an award winning chef. I'll let you know how everything is afterward we return!
For me, it's another proud moment as a working mom. I feel so good (actually, really fantastic) that I have the time, desire, and means to spend quality time with my family...expose the girls to new environments...and ultimately - day by day, trip by trip - show the girls how to live fulfilling and happy lives.
