Show Notes

In this episode learn how a trip to the Oregon Coast quickly turned into a business trip to Washington DC for Darren. Paige decided to join him so they could have some quality time alone together. Travel log and some nice back and forth about a missed romantic trip.

Business Trips

  • Plan time to be together.
  • We with no kids turned into a week together.
  • We had planned to spend 5 days in Oregon but Darren had a Business trip pop up and had to go to Washington DC.
  • He took the opportunity to bring Paige along and spend a couple of days seeing some sites in Virginia.
  • Although it was not ideal, It was time to spend together that was valuable.

Monticello and UVA

  • Nice trip to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello.
  • History about the house was interesting.
  • Sally Hemmings history and the discussion that ensued.
  • University of Virginia History and legacy that Jefferson left behind.
  • College Town feel and cute downtown with little boutiques.

Thursday being Flexible

  • Plans for Thursday were to go to downtown Washington DC where Darren had meetings and Paige was going to go to the Newseum.
  • Darren saw a change to the location of his meeting and ended up going to the wrong place Reston instead of Arlington. 
  • This wiped out Paiges plan to see the Newseum and Darren had to attend his meeting by phone.
  • Paige changed her plans and went shopping at the local stores and boutiques, which she was planning on doing on Friday while Darren was in meetings all day long.
  • Lunch with Co-workers and the benefit of meeting the people Darren is working with.

Movie Review of Yesterday
  • Downpour rainstorm right before we headed to the movie.
  • Thursday evening we went and saw the Movie Yesterday.

Coming Home from the Trip
  • The 4-hour flight turned into a 2-hour wait on the tarmac and 4 1/2 hour flight.
  • Luckily we had 3 seats for the two of us.

Funny Moment of the Week
  • On our trip home we had 3 seats to ourselves but halfway through the flight, they asked us to share because someone was stuck between two very large people.

What is Where's the Lemonade??

They say when life gives you lemons you should make lemonade. Making lemonade is not always easy or possible. For us, we found ourselves single in our 40's with kids at home and starting life over again. Luckily we found each other, online no doubt. When we began blending families, schedules, traditions, and laundry, we discovered lots of lemons. Our podcast is a reflection on how we get through the hard times and enjoy the good times on our new journey together, all with ten kids in tow. Sometimes when life gives you lemons, you make lemon squares. Lemonade might come later.
