reservations have been made and fully paid. tight as our budget is, hubby decided we could dig once more into the madaus treasure and treat ourselves to a weekend get away. it’ll be our first weekend alone after…well, two years! i almost cannot remember how it can be without jan. see, since jan was born, he was never left overnight without either hubby or i with him. he’s never had so much as a babysitter and the most that hubby and i spent together without jan were probably 5 hours or so, when opa and oma would volunteer to look after him while we’re away. we’ve never been to a movie, to a museum, to a bar, not even out to a romantic dinner by ourselves. for TWO whole years.

we’ve made arrangements with oma and opa. jan will stay with them for that weekend, but we’ll all stay with them a couple of days earlier, just to get jan used to their company and the routine. i really wanted to go out of germ’s land, either to prague or budapest, but there’s the visa to see to, and it’s gonna be too far from my in-laws’ place. you know, just in case there’s an emergency or something. we wanted to be within just a few hours ride.

so. a whole november-weekend away. am not sure for whom it’s gonna be tougher: for jan or for us.
