Last week in clinic we learned that Hope's next appointment was 11 days away. "What are you going to do?" we were asked repeatedly. With a solid ANC, growing appetite and energy to spare, Hope was raring to go, so we decided to - gulp - go on vacation! Like normal people. Not too far away, and for just three nights, but still. Best decision we've made in a long time.
Pool with water slide, mini golf, s'mores (Hope's new obsession), restaurants, frisbee, and loads of long hallways. It was amazing.
When I was a kid, it used to drive me crazy that on the last day of our vacation my parents would always try to cram in one more activity. "Let's just stop at the beach on the way to the ferry." "We'll get a late checkout so we can take one more dip in the pool." We'd all groan and complain. But this morning I tried every trick in the book to extend our normal family vacation just a bit longer.
