This is really kind of exciting, actually. My dad turns 75 on December 4. My sister has lived in San Diego for 4 years and he's never visited her because he's terrified of upsetting his routine. So tonight I asked him if he might like to go to San Diego for his birthday and he said ok. That's great! So now I have a trip to plan.
I don't do well just being. I like to have projects, and my only project for awhile has been re-endearing myself to Mr. A. Well, now I have another project - planning my dad's 75th birthday trip!
It's so funny/funky to me that I'm getting to really value my time with my parents now that they're getting older. Sure, I look back and think that they were kind of messed up as caretakers, but I'm not going to hold it against them forever! (I've already held it against them for 35 years!)
I'll be totally geeked if my dad actually takes this trip to San Diego with me!
I love love love San Diego and I ESPECIALLY love it in the winter months, when Michigan is awful and California is beautiful! It would be really fun to go out there with my dad and hang out with my sis! Holla!
