After I dropped the kids off at the airport on Sunday, July 8, we had a very pleasant and quiet packing day in Lincoln, with lunch and some t-shirt shopping for Mark at the mall, a nap for me, some very low-stress packing, a silly movie (Magic Mike), dinner at Noodle’s and gelato at NuVibe’s (two of Mark’s favorite hangouts), a couple of walks, and early bedtime. So that was already a vacation day for me, especially since we had missed each other ridiculously for the 9 days since we came back from Germany.
