The vacation plan is to take #2 son to Ft. Collins. We discussed it at length, I thought, and planned to go from August 8 through 15th.
#2 son and I talked about going on a brewery tour, visiting Old Town, checking out the botanical gardens, and visiting the national park.
#1 son was up for it, and –while my husband didn’t want to go — #1 daughter agreed to come along and bring her large, comfy vehicle.
That’s what I thought was going on.
This evening I asked #1 son if he had been able to get the time off from work. He said he had thought things weren’t settled yet. My husband said we should leave on Aug 6 instead and then perhaps he could go. #1 son said we would need to take two cars.
Until this evening, I had figured I just needed to get an extra 59 posts scheduled and save up a couple thousand dollars. Now, I feel as though perhaps it won’t happen at all.
Two cars will nearly double the cost of the trip. If we all go, we’ll need to take the dogs to a kennel. My small, uncomfy car will require maintenance no doubt. From a simple fun idea that I could barely afford it has become a big complicated thing I probably can’t afford.
Maybe not. Maybe I’m just responding badly to the change in plans.
Fort Collins is a neat town. You definitely should go! You know your dogs tolerate me–ESPECIALLY TOBY! ha. Couldnt I pop over a couple of times a day and let them out or feed them or something? I’d be happy to : )
Oh, that would be great! Unfortunately, Wm is now unsure when he’ll get to move in. However, if we get that sorted, I will take you up on that. Think how Toby would love you if you fed him.
