Kyra just finished elementary school and to celebrate a successful year as a patrol she is headed to Washington DC with 10 of her fellow patrols to see the sights. Right from the beginning she let me know that she did NOT want me to chaperone (which was perfectly fine with me) so on Saturday she will get on a bus at 5am and I won't see her again until Wednesday night (they don't drive home until Thursday but my mom and I are driving up to get her in Richmond VA and then heading to VT for a family reunion). I'm excited for her, worried that she'll lose something important (like all her money or her cell phone) and eager to hear how it all goes. I'm not worried about missing her-since we got divorced when she was 4, Kyra has gone back and forth between my house and her dad's, so I'm used to having time apart. Their itinerary exhausts me just reading it-they get up at 6am every day and don't get back to the hotel until 8pm most nights-and it makes me feel relieved that I won't be there.
Our big challenge now is getting her packed and doing her hair Friday night after work-more posts on her hair to come...
