After we returned from Minnesota, we had the rest of the week (Wednesday through Saturday) to get caught up before I went to Davis, California for a week of training. I have to admit. I REALLY enjoy Davis. Everything about the town is blissful to me. While there, Kevin sent me fun pictures of The Boy, and while I had a good time, I was ready to come home around Wednesday or Thursday. Plus, while I was away, The Boy cut two of his two year molars, which was the cause of some overnight crying and a phone call to me midweek. At that point, I was ready to be home and provide him some comfort and lots of love. Kevin, of course, did a wonderful job, and I started seeing a glimpse of how hard it must be for him to be away, and he was able to see a bit of what it is like for me as well. It was the longest I had been away from The Boy in… um… well… a year? Wow. It was great for remembering just how much I prefer to travel with Kevin and The Boy.
A few cool things did happen in Davis though. The Hallmark Inn has free happy hour each evening, so we were able to sit around and chat. I was able to walk around aimlessly in beautiful weather. There was a ton of good food, and the last night most of the class went to dinner at a local bar together.
There were also a few bumps during my week (besides the middle of the night phone call), including my work credit card not working (someone forgot to check a box, fixed in one day) and United Airlines. Yes, the airline in and of itself was not very pleasant on the way back to Tulsa. Long story short, I was lied to, yelled at, and insulted by various agents of the airline. After a weather delay, I was able to get home and my luggage made it, so that was nice. Also, our lovely neighbor stayed with The Boy (sleeping), so Kevin could quickly pick me up!
