Last weekend, we had our first "alone" getaway in almost 8 years – the last time we did it was for Tod's 40th birthday in 2012. But this time....we left the kids home on their own.
CRAZY. We flew out early on Saturday morning to Austin, where we had a fabulous time seeing shows, eating, and seeing the sights. Meanwhile back at home, Amy managed to get rides to/from the drama tech build, and they even set up their own grubhub account so they could get Red Robin delivered. They were 100% unfazed by the whole thing. Of course they
do hardly notice we're here on the weekends, until it gets to be dinner time. They even got themselves off to school on Monday morning. We flew in on Monday afternoon and everything was just as we left it.
I know they're 17 and almost 15, but it is still a momentous thing to leave them alone for more than two days!!
