Ready for International Travel

Ashlyn was so excited today when her Passport arrived in the mail.  It only took about 3 weeks to come after we applied.  We found out a few months ago that our Maids Franchise was one of the top 15 to get a paid trip to Costa Rica this March and it is our turn to go (we rotate with John's parents when we win each year).  Since John and I are both going to the Las Vegas Maids trip at the beginning of March and because our babysitters who take on week long trips will still be retiring in sunny AZ until April, John and I decided to invite Ashlyn in my place to Costa Rica.  So we have made this trip a Daddy/Daughter trip.  She is excited for the passport, excited to be traveling out of the country for the first time, excited for the beach, and excited to maybe try parasailing!  We love home schooling for reason' like this - we scheduled her Spring Break that week and she gets to try out her Spanish she has been learning all year while she is there.  Meanwhile, the boys and I will be holding down the home front and the Maids office.  We are a little excited too and are coming up with some local fun things we can do while they enjoy the sun.
