Well, we got in at about 11:40pm last night, got to bed around 1:00am and it's 9:00 Monday morning and I'm the only one up. I think a little extra sleeping will be in order for the next couple of days. I'm just sitting here at my dining table, posting pictures and blogging, sipping coffee from my Starbucks New York City mug and feeling a little blue.
This is not like me. I usually get back from a vacation and I'm SO glad to sleep in my own bed, unpack and clean up the trip mess, and get to business. This trip doesn't feel this way. I just wasn't ready for it to be over! I loved New York. I could do a lot more of that. It's one of the first vacations I've ever taken (not that the list is long) where I feel like I could just go live where I visited and be really glad. In the real world you would never want to live in New York with a)children, b)less than $100,000/year, c)anyone who doesn't like city life too. So, I'm sure my life with never coincide with New York life. But, I do hope I get to go back someday. I'd love to have about 2 weeks there with Doug. I think the other reason I have post-holiday blues is that I spent so long preparing for this trip, planning, saving and all that and looking forward to all the surprises I had in store for Grace, that it seems all too soon for it to be done. It's kinda like your wedding, you plan like crazy, spend a fortune, and then in about and hour you're saying to yourself, "that's it?"
So, I'll spend the next couple of days coming back down to earth, posting all our pictures and stories and looking forward to the everyday joys of my hydrangeas in bloom and blueberries coming on. :)
