How Can One Be So Blessed?
To some of you it may have seemed that I had not been very active on site these past several days, as I normally am, here in our Wealthy Affiliate Community. If you were one of those who thought that, you would have been absolutely correct! You may have thought me to be "Missing In Action" or MIA. In a sense you would have been right on target, but in a very good way, I was only MIA because I was on a wonderful, beautiful and much-needed vacation!
I started out on our annual Mother, Daughter trip, I pay for my airfare and any shopping I may want to do, the rest of the trip is a treat to Mom (me), from my wonderfully Blessed Daughter. I fly out of Ohio and she flies out of San Diego where she and her wonderful husband live. Every year for the past 3 years pre Covid 19, we would decide on a place to go for our Mother, Daughter trip. In 2021, we started back traveling.
This year my Daughter chose Seattle, WA. She chose Seattle partly because of some activities she wanted to put on our itinerary. My Daughter is a very meticulous planner and she comes up with the most amazing agendas! We spent 5 beautiful days together laughing, talking, taking pictures, sightseeing, shopping, being foodies and eating the most amazing meals. We even spent one entire day at the SPA, it was fabulous indeed. On our last night, it was Theater night and I knew about it because my Daughter had told me that the last night we would be attending the theater I just didn't know what the play would be. As it turned out, on our way to the show my Daughter told me what we were going to see, it was the nationally acclaimed show "Hamilton," and it did not disappoint, amazing!
We even went to a lovely place called Mercy Island, it is an actual Island, but they've built a very long bridge/highway to be able to drive across. Oh I forgot to tell you that my Daughter is a very well-known Jazzercize Instructor within the Jazzercise community. Every time we go on our trips she plans ahead of time for us to go to classes, workout, and meet other instructors and members of the Jazzercise community. Normally when we go on our trips we only go to one or two Jazzercise classes but this trip we went to a total of 4 classes, and one was an evening class!
They all treat my Daughter like Jazzercize celebrity, they take pictures of her and ask her to come up and teach some of the class. It's fun to see and to watch, they even have posters of her and others like her on their walls. They even treat me like the Mom of celebrity, it's so much fun!
I want you to know that I took my laptop though, because I had planned to do some work within my WA Community. I love it so much, it was just going to be like vacation down time. Thing is, there wasn't any down time, and I was just to pooped to do anything but sleep at the end of the day, our schedule just wasn't having it! I did think abut it though every day and literally couldn't wait for all the fun to end so that I could resume having fun working in my Wealthy Affiliate Community!

I would love to do that with my daughters. They are creating their own families now, so that kind of time is limited. I'm so glad you had a wonderful time, as I'm sure it was well-deserved. Glad you're back with us!
Hey BossLady,
Don't worry your time will come. I actually have four children, two of my daughters are building their families as well, my son hasn't started yet (still looking and building his career), and my oldest that treated me to the Mother daughter trip, she is very happily married and they have two fur babies! Thanks so much for taking time to read my post, I appreciate it! :)
The mother-daughter trip is a great idea. It sure seemed like fun. You must not get to see each other very much so this is great. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, it was loads of fun drjec! I have 4 grown children they all live pretty far away except for one who lives in the same state and is pretty close to us, the other 3 usually once or twice a year especially now since the pandemic. Thanks so much for taking time to read my post, it means a lot to me.
Sounds like you had an absolutely amazing time away with your daughter Deborah!
Working on our sites here at WA is important, but other things with family are way more important!
Great to have you back amongst us my friend, and have a fantastic weekend!
Thank you Jessiefido,
Yes, absolutely first things first, Family always! Thank you for the encouragement, and for taking the time to read my post. We did have an amazing time together though, and now, back to work! :)
You have a Wonderful Weekend as well my Friend.
Family first always Deborah and you are most welcome...
I will try to have a great weekend my friend.. I just need this extreme heat to go away for a while!🥵
Mother And Daughter Time is "AWESOME", Because In these Times many things happen and when you don't get that time with family, you may miss out on not having those times to reconnect.
Peace And Blessings To You Both !

Doesn't get any better than this.
