Look at this cute lady we picked up at SFO and took out to Walnut Creek on the BART with us.
It was so very strange to drive away from the house without the kids today! Sure, I do stuff on my own from time to time but this is different! Craig & I have haven't been away overnight since we went to my friend Sharon's wedding in Boston in September 2006! Technically Sarah was with us then so the time before that was to Paris in July 2006. Either way, it was overdue. I definitely appreciated the fact that I didn't have to worry about anyone freaking out on the plane or needing to go to the bathroom or needing a nap but not falling asleep, etc.
My mom got to the airport before us and we all got on the BART to Walnut Creek. Once we checked into our hotel we walked to an Indian restaurant for dinner (it was excellent!). We aren't sure what we'll do tomorrow besides sleep in. I did talk to Corrine and the kids when we landed and Corrine said that the girls both said they weren't nervous any more after about an hour so without us. That was a relief! Both girls sounded just fine on the phone so here's hoping it all goes well!
