It was really magical. I recommend a few vacations where you go where you want, do what you want, with no one else to worry about.

@Blackbird : Hey, I tried. Asked the DD to keep the dogs, one of them hers, for a weekend, and she told me no. She is afraid she will lose one. Simple, don't let the out the front door. Have I lost her kid over the last 13 years? No. We would even take Daisy, if she would keep Chloe and Heidi.
