Leaving the Nest

July 13, 2012 | by Natalie Caine | No Comments

I wish I could leave.   I the mom am always the responsible one. I want to have an adventure. I am well educated.  Once I get my two kids off in August I am going to take an adventure in October.

I am divorced now, so I travel solo.   I will relax, be entertained in a big new city, and eat whatever my heart desires.  

My kids are happy for me as long as my cell phone is with me.  They want me available. 

I love music so concerts are on my list.   I realized no one is really going to get me to my dream but me.  So I am off for my own adventure.  I love the research of the trip.   I do wish I had someone to go with but I will make friends wherever I am.  

I am wondering what adventures other parents are taking after their kids leave home.
