The Wasson’s Number One Rule when Traveling with the Booger:
Be Flexible
The number two rule: Always expect at least one bad day
during the trip
We were reminded of both of these rules today. The first
came this morning when Steve asked, “Do you think Thanksgiving Point will be
open on a Sunday.”
He had a point. We are in Utah.
So we looked up the hours, and sure enough, Thanksgiving
Point is closed on Sundays, meaning I needed to rework our itinerary. So I changed
Thanksgiving Point to tomorrow and decided that we would do Bridal Veil Falls
and the Shops at Riverwood. (The Shops at Riverwood are also completely closed
on Sundays….thank you Utah).
We were super excited about Bridal Veil Falls, and stood in
awe when we got our first glimpse of the natural beauty. However, the Booger
was having none of it today. That little girl was grumpy and uncooperative. She
would breakdown over the littlest and most stupidest things (like Steve not
giving her the ‘Big Fish Food’ and in reality they were all the same size). The
Booger ended up getting a massive time out in the car among other punishment. By
the time we got back to the hotel for nap time, Steve and I were at each other’s
throats and not wanting to deal with the Booger. Oh, how I longed for the days
of babyless vacations……
Then nap time happened, and Steve and I talked, and we got a
nice break. God designed babies and toddlers to have nap times to help parents
remain sane. I’m convinced of this.
After naptime, the Booger was the sweetest little angel, and
we had an amazing time at the Provo Town Center mall. We rode the carousal
(three times!), rode the in-mall choo-choo train, ate tempura ice cream, and
played in the indoor toddler playground. It redeemed this morning and reminded
us that, even though it’s hard to go on vacation with a toddler, we do make
wonderful memories and we do love each other. Plus, we expect at least on bad
day on vacations. Today was that day.
And another positive thing from today! I got to work on
swaps! I made five; I still have 30 more to go with two more days until
convention.
