While Andy travels a lot (!), most weeks its a day or two here or there. But each year in June, he has to attend in annual company user conference (affectionately referred to as BUC) in Chicago that lasts Monday- Friday. While I love my children with all of my being, that’s just a LONG time to be solo parenting; 5 breakfasts, 5 dinners, 5 baths, 5 lunches and lord knows how many irrational tantrums. So I decided to pack up the kids early Tuesday morning and head to the beach for some support. The boys had a great time at ‘Camp Coco’ while I worked. Who wouldn’t love long walks, trips to the playground, digging in the sand, riding bikes and being spoiled by your grandparents?!? 
It wasn’t all fun and games. It was educational too! Like when Andrew learned the valuable life lesson from Papa on how to pour wine! ‘SLOWLY!’ ?
