My anticipation of the three day mini vacation was well placed. We had a wonderful time - perhaps the best three days spent with my family in NH ever.
Knock wood, I think we finally have a good routine. For the first time we stayed in a hotel rather than at the family homestead. DH is horribly allergic to animals and my sister and brother both bring thier dogs to visit with some regularity. Staying overnight elsewhere reduced a lot of the pressure - and the allergies that DH regularly felt. Addititionally, my Mom got in the game this summer and hired a professional cleaning service to scrub the house from top to bottom. All of the rugs were rolled up - anything that could house pet hair removed. The result was a relaxed and happy husband who truly enjoyed a much needed break. And for me - a sense of peace and joy that he could finally enjoy a place that I love more than any other.
We even had an enjoyable drive home. We left about 1pm, hit some traffic on the Pike and made it home by 5:30. We had great conversations - about much of nothing - the whole way - and DH didn't say a word about the traffic - yet another clue that he was truely relaxed.
