As it turns out Allison will be the only one of us going with my parents to London this April. I just got the okay from her teacher. No worries when it comes to school.
With Gerry’s new job there is just no way he can get the time off.  I was close to tagging along myself leaving only my husband behind but I forgot to count my lost wages in to the equation as well. It’s just too much money for us this year. No matter how I go over the numbers, it’s just not in the cards for us.
In fact my mother and step dad are picking up their flight tickets this afternoon. It’s going to be really hard on me knowing Allison is that far away from us for those two weeks. But I know my parents will take good care of her and it’ll be a wonderful experience. I wouldn’t want her to miss it. They are even planning a visit to Paris during the two week trip.
I’ll have to take Allison out shopping for some fun new clothes before the trip and load her up with a bunch of disposable cameras for lots of pictures.
She sure is one lucky little girl.
