I was wrong about how the order reads regarding vacation. The "one month" notice is about who gets what uninterrupted week for summer vacation only. The paragraph on vacation reads as follows: "Defendant/Plaintiff must provide an itinerary as to where minor children will be staying if taken out of state on a vacation." That is all it says, so at least she can't pull the "I didn't get adequate notice" card.

Still undecided if he will provide itinerary when we are in route or beforehand.

Another good thing is Monday is a holiday, so no need to rush back to have them home on time Sunday. That just makes life so much easier.

I just really need these couple days away from the office and from my home (I get such bad cabin fever during the winter months) ... even if we are bringing the skids, I am breaking away for a few hours to shop for MEEE. He can be the responsible dad, I am having cocktails with my dinner. And maybe lunch. Breakfast too.
