Barry is on paternity leave. We decided that before he starts his new job that we should try and get away for a few days. Last time we went away, it was a disaster. Evey was 6 months old, didn't want anyone but me and I was at wit's end by the end of the week. Now that she's older, I figured it would be different. She was different, more pleasant, but Barry still doesn't understand... Any mom knows that a baby has a schedule. Eating at this time, nap at this time, play at this time. Most dads have NO idea about what the schedule is. Most dads don't know how far they can push their child before the levy breaks. Barry once again proved this.
I can hardly stand being in the car for 3 hours straight. Imagine a 10 month old? No kidding she's cranky, dumb ass! Shopping for 4 hours... I don't think so!
Needless to say, the mini-vacation was not what I was looking for. I, once again, would have preferred to stay home. Besides, we didn't do much. We went to Portsmouth, Maine. Not too much to do there - be warned if you are in the area. Cute stores, but not for a mom on a maternity leave budget. It was nice to see the beach, I must say. That was the highlight for me, I wish we could have stayed longer, but it was cold and windy.

Sorry to hear it wasn't all it craked up to be. Be reasured that vacation will be pleasant once again. The car trips might still suck perhaps, but once you get there, it will be fun again. Just make sure you lay down the rules for Barry befor you go! ;-)
Love the pic of you and Evey at the beach.
