14

How to feel two decades younger:

  • road-trip by yourself to a place you love
  • listen to your music (no Radio Disney allowed)
  • have uninterrupted thoughts of your own
  • stay with your grandma in the same room/bed reserved for you at age 14
  • let Grandma make you breakfast
  • go hiking with your mom for 3 1/2 hours (wonder why you complained about it when you were actually 14)
  • have endless conversations with Grandma
  • let Mom make you dinner (x2)
  • extend overnight stay to a two night stay (and wish it could be 3)
  • walk with Grandma, take pictures
  • sit on the porch, talk, wait for a storm, put off sleep

(ps - thanks to Todd who took over 'mommy duty'. I appreciate it - even if you did feed the children pizza for dinner... both nights.)

So that's the secret to your fountain of youth. Your trip sounds so perfect and relaxing. Great picture of you and Aunt Dede.

Pizza for 2 nights in a row? Todd would fit in well here.

did you lay under the stars and dream about your boyfriend and miss him terribly too?

sounds like a super fun trip. grandma is so cute in that last picture, like she's the 14 year old.

Good Job Rachel, I think we all need a break once in awhile. And Good Job Todd for letting her. Sounds like fun!
