Today I'm packing up and flying home. After a quick yet eventful trip across the country, I'm ready to see my boys and return to normal. I miss my kids, my husband, our kitties and our Christmas tree. Traveling is a welcome reminder that my talents and abilities do extend beyond the my small little circle, but at the end of the day I'm a homebody.
My meetings in San Francisco went well and the week was topped with an amazing holiday party. True to my company's core values, the party was a dedicated fundraiser for two amazing nonprofits. Instead of just toasting the year's accomplishments, employees and friends were digging into their wallets to help amputees in developing countries. I felt a surge of pride being part of a company with such a strong philanthropic view.
This morning I have time to grab a quick cup of coffee before I throw my stuff into a bag to head home. Tomorrow Scott and I have a small Christmas Adventure planned for the boys. We are going to see the National Christmas tree and to walk through ZooLights at the National Zoo. We reserved a hotel room in the city for the night, which is always a treat for the kids. I know that they will have a blast, and I'm looking forward to some quality holiday-themed family time.
