This week the teen and I travelled to DC to see the cherry blossoms (we planned to travel to Japan but had to postpone that trip until next summer). If you know me, you know that I have to pack everything possible into our travels- all the museums, new restaurants, trivia, shopping…. I just can’t sit still for too long. But, today the teen told me that we need to schedule at least one day, during our travels, to stay in our hotel room and do nothing … just be together (and order room service). This was a timely reminder that it’s not how many different things we do that matter – it’s the time spent together (even when we irritate each other and have to ask for forgivenss for being snippy). (P.S. She stared over my shoulder and proofread this post as I typed – she is definitely her mother’s child!)
