One of the best things about Europe is our ability to travel. Having kids makes it a little more challenging, so when the opportunity presented itself to travel without them, we all jumped at the chance! We planned a trip to Poland to buy more pottery over a four-day weekend so the kids could stay at home with their dads and the girls would be on our own. This was Jay's first all-day alone time with Hayden, so we were pretty excited. We left bright and early at 6:30am, and wouldn't you know Hayden slept in until 8:30 on the day dad keeps him! While we were out shopping, the boys got together to tag-team the kids, and had a blast. 
We enjoyed a day of no strollers, no missed naps, no bottles or burp cloths. It was amazing how much faster we could go in and out of store unencumbered by baby gear. We had time to visit all of our stores, many of them twice! It was the first time for some of my friends and it can be a little overwhelming, but we had a blast. We had time to take some fun pictures, and I got everything on my list. After three years here and several trips to Poland, you'd think I'd have enough now. But I already have a list forming for our next trip!
The town that we visit is Bolaslawiec, and other than pottery there isn't much to see there. But the pieces are beautiful and unique, and I can't wait to use them back in the states and remember all the good times we had. Some of the shops have giant pottery outside of them, so we had some fun with those of course! We knew this would be our only opportunity to go child-free before the guys deploy, so we took advantage of it. Next time will be quite an adventure, but we're always up for it!
