I had waves of anxiety leading up to our trip to Taos. Not unusual for me to have anxiety so I flatly asked Caleb if he could cancel the Airbnb reservation. To my luck he couldn’t and wouldn’t.
As it turned out, New Mexico cracked my heart open offering tingly feelings of happiness and gratitude.
Family vacations the last few summers looked different. Breastfeeding and what I will simply call my “zombie mom” post(partum)apocalyptic phase. Trips that we spent money and driving time to be put inside since you don’t skip naptime or bedtime when you are a parent to Kessler Jane. She’s three now and her little personality made this go round more fun to include her. Maybe she’s aware we’re going to drag her to things regardless.
Backing up, I wasn’t stoked on getting out of my normal routine again this year because I have an attachment/love for my normal routine. The “can we cancel?” came when Caleb told me that the Taos House didn’t have air conditioning.
It’s a good thing neither of our negativity hung around long because vacation actually slapped.
