So...I'm finally going to blog about NYC. One of Briana's favorite places to visit. She doesn't really love the crowds or the busy-ness of NYC, but she loves the food, shopping, and of course Broadway.
We were trying to figure out where to go for spring break. We didn't go on a winter break vacation anywhere because we had scheduled Bri to get her wisdom teeth out that week - which she ended up doing about two weeks earlier due to an infected wisdom tooth. We just decided to do a staycation at home that week instead. So, we tossed around a bunch of ideas for spring break - including going to Vegas. After looking into things, we realized that Vegas at that time of year was stupid expensive, and we decided against it. So, it was back to NYC instead.
We booked the trip and then...I got really sick. With all my stomach issues. And my heel issue was still bothering me (and still is). I was also still recovering from my arthritic flare ups at the end of last year and beginning of this year. I had a bunch of testing lined up to figure out what was wrong with me. I was a mess.
As the vacation got closer, I got more and more worried about being able to do it. I was really miserable some days. Reflux, heartburn, pain. How could I do it?
I told Doug and Bri if I couldn't go, they still needed to go. So they were going no matter what. I worried about my physical and mental health being alone for all those days, but I didn't know if I was strong enough to fly so far away.
It was an 11th hour decision - seriously. I decided the day before the trip that I was going to go. If I didn't feel well, I would just rest at the hotel. If I missed stuff, I missed stuff. I had been to NYC a number of times already anyway.
I had some tough times on the trip and I had some wonderful times on the trip. I am so glad I went though. I needed to go. I needed to know I could do it. I wanted to be with my daughter for her last vacation while in high school.
So here it goes...our vacation to NYC - next...
