50 Days

Today (May 9) is 50 days until our next get-together. And it’s going to be a big one. The Mitchell Men are coming to America.

Yes, after close to a dozen trips here (if not more), Mark is bringing his boys to the U.S. for the first time. Over the 4th of July. ‘Merica. In the summer. Two boys who’ve never been south of say, London, are heading here for almost three weeks.

 

FLAG WAVING ALL OVER THE PLACE.

His oldest, F., is a carefully considering the trip. He’s excited, but he’s a planner, and as such, moderating his energy levels, wanting to know everything about where we are going, times, distances, and variable temperatures. He’s insisting he’s not going to wear shorts. In Virginia. In July. He’s worried about sunscreen.

The youngest, C., on the other hand, has already procured (with my help) American flag swim trunks and has announced he will be running into the warm Atlantic Ocean, punching a shark, riding roller coasters, and setting off all of the fireworks.

We’ll be spending some time in D.C. doing tourist things, a week in Blacksburg, and then a week at Busch Gardens and Virginia Beach. J. is already planning on his airport welcome sign and how many times they can go fishing. Girl child is coming to Busch Gardens with us, with some friends, and staying in a separate room, because wouldn’t you?

Me? I have only had a handful of times that all of the people I care most about in the world are all in the same room, much less together for days on end. The wedding was the last time, and that was hectic as all get out, and hardly counts.

We’re all looking forward to it for our own reasons. Mine is just having everyone at a table. Even if it’s a Chinese buffet in Williamsburg and someone is complaining about the food.

And having my husband around.

50 days.
