So what started as a comment just to keep Harry from being a third wheel in Olsen’s weekend has now turned into a full and overly planned weekend. Not a bad thing. I let Harry make the plans and Harry loves to make plans.
Here’s what it’s going to be. This weekend, not next weekend. Just her and me, away for the weekend while Olsen is off with her boyfriend which means Mercer gets the place to himself. From his perspective, I think having the whole weekend at home to himself is better than getting invited to join us anyway.
We’re going to Maine together. We’re stopping in Kittery for shopping and then camping in Freeport, where there will be more shopping. Probably needless to point out, Harry loves shopping.
She’s got stops picked out and places to eat planned, as well as a complete camping menu. I have a feeling I’ll be spending the whole weekend just asking her what’s next on our itinerary. But I don’t want to complain. As she gets older, I am cherishing this mother-daughter time. There might not be too many opportunities left for us to be together alone like this.
On the other hand, this is camping in a tent in Maine in October. I might be getting too old for this.
