I Dream Of Walking On The Sandy Beaches Of Somewhere Tropical

 I have been kid-less for five days now, and while I am enjoying this unusual time to myself, I miss them like crazy.  I think this is the longest I have ever gone without seeing their beautiful faces everyday.  I can not wait until tomorrow, when I get home from work, and they are here, waiting on me. 

Right now, they are on vacation with my husband and his girlfriend.  They are spending the weekend camping on a lake, enjoying their time fishing and swimming.  I talk to them several times a day, but it's not the same as seeing them, and getting my hugs and kisses.  They are having so much fun, though, that my missing them is worth it. 

I wish I could afford to take them on some kind of vacation, but that's just not in the cards for me this summer.  Maybe next year I can sock away some of my tax refund to take them somewhere fun next summer.  I have always wanted to take a cruise, and I hear Carnival Cruises are very child friendly, so I might look into that.  Of course, I would need another adult yo come along, and since I have no desire to start a relationship with anyone right now, I would probably take my mom.  I know she would have a good time.  

The hard part is deciding where to go.  It has always been a dream of mine to walk along the beaches of Hawaii, so I would probably want to go there.  Then again, I think any tropical place with sandy beaches and crystal clear water would be beautiful.  Where would you recommend I go?
