*Vacation?

We enjoyed a delicious Sunday dinner with family yesterday. As the food on our plates started to clear, talk or our Hawaii vacation came up. Quickly the table was cleared and the laptop was brought out. We were checking flights and making arrangements. I'll be leaving a few days before Colb and staying a few days longer. He would come with me and stay except it's right in the middle (more towards the end) of his last semester.
  Last semester = Calculus. I don't blame him, I would have put it off til the end as well.  :)
  As we talked about when I could/would/should come home, I shot Colby my best, 'please let me stay as long as I can look.' He bought it and our conversation went something like this.
   "I don't care how long you stay, I just need to get back to school."
"You don't care at all? You won't be mad?"
"Mad? No. Jealous? Yes."
"So if I can stay as long as I want maybe you could just buy a plane ticket whenever you can afford it and you can come visit me. Maybe like ... Next Summer?"
  "Sure babe, I'll see you next summer."

 

Take me back to sea glass beach, to the hot dog place, to the beach, to the pool, the the expensive drinks, to the coca-cola, to the grandkids, to the sun, take me back to that killer tan.

  If only I could explain how anxious and excited I am to be counting down the days to our amazing WHOLE family vacation in Hawaii. 

There are no words.
