Speaker 1 (00:00):
So Sky made a grand return to her Oregon house
this weekend. I got, yeah, I know it's range, but
the grand I don't. I told somebody that this weekend.
They're like, what like the weekend.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I'm like, yeah, it's not heading up Palm Springs.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
For flying to Oregon, and it's not like you get
off the plane and you're at your house. No, then
they drive for like three hours or something like.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yeah, oh, that's because I'll go to my wife will
go to Sacramento. That's like an hour and a half flight,
and then it's like thirty minutes from the airports to
her dad's house, her mom's house, And even that seems quick. Yeah,
you know, but a two and a half hour flight
then a fifteen hour drive, I can't imagine.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Tie by the.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Time they get there, they have to sleep and then
they got to go back to the airport.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
It's pretty insane, but you know this is what they did. Yeah,
and so you were up in Oregon again. How was
the trip?

Speaker 2 (00:58):
It was good, first time going in February, so that
was a little chilly, little chilly chili. Yeah, yesterday we
were shocker at the Oregon Coast Aquarium and we're just
standing there and all of a sudden, it just starts
hailing on us, like literally just hailing on us, and
I'm like outside, Well it's like an inside outside type

(01:21):
of thing, but the otters are outside, and you know,
that's where we spend most of our time.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
So you know, yeah, obviously, is that a big aquarium
or is it like the size of the Birch aquarium.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
No, it's probably like twice the size of the Birch. Yeah,
it's it's it's a pretty good aquarium. But yeah, it was.
It was chili not gonna lie. I had the first
time where we had to abort mission on one of
our fun activities because we were just so cold, like
we're walking to do something and we're all like literally
like our bodies were shipping and we're like maybe maybe

(01:54):
five pm at night in February in coastal Oregon, isn't
the time to do an outdoor activity. You know, maybe
it's not. But we had. We had a good time,
did all our things, you know, Valentine's Day with the daughter,
you know, because we're all there, it's the three of us,

(02:15):
you know, so we all went up to a nice dinner.
So but overall, you know, we love it there. We
love the house we bought there, which eventually, you know,
someday will be our retirement home. And so can you not.
We did have to go down to the beach and
look up and survey what's what's going on. I'm always

(02:37):
comparing pictures of the cliff to see if it's changed insurance.
That's not. I think it's just home insurance. And I
don't know if it's falling off a cliff is covered. Yeah, yeah,
but a good trip. A little tired today. Got in
late last night and then with the storm.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
I was thinking because I was really raining at one
point and I was like, I was I was driving
on the five because I went to the Birch a
querum with my son and uh he he loved it.
Was that right, They had a blast you It was fine.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
It was fun.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Okay, not an aquarium guy.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
I'm not an aquarium guy. But I enjoyed that. There's
a lot of kids there and the fish were cool.
It's a very it's going to be a mom and
son thing. Oh, it's going to be a mom or
something and guy, she'll go my son who's three months,
and my wife will go with Sky and her daughter.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Now do you think your wife and son will go
when your son's fifteen sixteen years old? It just depends.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
He may want to be that he wants to maybe he'll.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Maybe fun out penguins all out. Okay. So I was
driving down the five and there was like it was pouring.
We had like a patch of just crazy rain, and
then there was a puddle in the freeway. I was
going like forty at one point, and I was thinking,
there's no way skis mate.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
I kind of had that thoughts to you, like I'm
expecting to text, hey, bro. Didn't make it out. Didn't
make it out. See the next day.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
I was a little nervous in Oregon yesterday morning when
I got the NBC news alert that flights are stopped
in and out of San Diego. But luckily that was
the morning so and we were like one of the
last flights of the night.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
So lucky.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, yeah, but yeah, nice to be home. But we
had a great time.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Okay, Well, after this hot trip to Oregon for a
couple of days, Sky's wheels are turning now and what
you thinking about doesn't make a lot of sense to us.
But let's here, let's hear your thoughts.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Well, So the wheels have actually been turning for a
little bit longer. I just haven't really shared my wheels
with you guys. But so our spring breaks are always
messed up. When we try and take time off for
a spring break. It sucks because you know, Thor's kids
not in school yet clearly, but Eddie, Emily and my
kid we're all in different school districts. So when it

(05:03):
comes to like spring break, coordinating the calendar so we
could all take a week off with our family is
really hard to do. And you know, so we were
looking at the calendar and of course nothing matches up
this time. So what I'm going to do is the
show is going to be on, but I'm going to
take a couple of days off to do a small
little trip with my family. No, no, we're actually going

(05:25):
to go. We're going to go Tomite crazy. I don't know,
we'll figure out what I Oh, bye, we're airbnbing? I
mean by no means are we camping? Don't don't think
like granola Yosemite stuff think you know. So anyway, so
so that's what I'm going to do. But since Eddie

(05:47):
and Emily were able to get their kids dates to
match up. That's going to be the week the whole
show's going to take off, right, So my daughter's in school,
so we can't do a family vacation that week. So
I started thinking, what about a solo sky vacation, sky vacation?

(06:09):
What does that even?

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Well?

Speaker 2 (06:11):
I recently had a chapter in one of my self
help audiobooks that was talking about how good it is
to spend time alone and to have quiet time and
reflection time.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
I agree with that because I've been telling you that,
you know, when your husband's following you around, that you.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Can't take a bath the loon. You don't always have
to be with your daughter like a lone. Time's good. Yeah.
Like literally, I've started reflecting more and more on my life,
and I don't have much of.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
My own life.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, it's like it's like every decision in the house,
I'm the mediator between what my husband and my daughter wants,
but never what I want.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
You're just now coming to this realization. I've been telling
you this for years.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
I knew it, but like you know, there's just a
moment where like it hits you and coming up and
thinking about a solo vacation is really where it hit hard,
because when we go on vacation again, it's all about
mainly what my daughter wants to do, but also, you know,
what my husband wants to do, and not much of
what I want to do.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Right, I'm just I'm just moving to the facilitator. Yeah,
that's all you are.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
That's a great word first, the facilitator.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah, we know this.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
And so thinking about a solo vacation, I was like,
what what would I even do? I would get to
pick what I want to do.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
You shouldn't be this confused, and like.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Where I want to eat and what time I want
to get up and leave the house and go to bed,
and like mind blown. And then you know, I got
myself help guru telling me that this is a good
thing to do, and I'm like, I have this time off,
what am I going to do? Just stay home and
fart around here around you know, well, let the boo

(07:59):
watch me take a back, like what what what am
I doing? Here? A guilt of you and not binge
watching a show in the middle of the day, right
because the sun's up, so we can't sit down and
watch television even though I'm on vacation. And so I
started thinking about this solo vacation, and then I started
pricing vacations because I got a little crazy, like oh Hawaii.

(08:19):
And then I realized real quick, oh no, everything is
like so insanely expensive, mainly the accommodations I gonna do
like a Julia Roberts eat prey love situation.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
You're looking at me. I've never seen that. I mean,
I actually have no idea, not seen them now.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
And so I quickly realized paying for accommodations anywhere is
like so expensive. And I love our Oregon house, and honestly,
anytime I've been there, it's never been about me. Like
I've never sat down and just sat there. I've never
just read a book. It's either I'm helping my husband

(09:04):
fix the oven or I'm taking my daughter type pooling.
Like there's nothing. I've never done anything for me, And
so I was like, that would be wild. Can I
do it? Do?

Speaker 1 (09:15):
How would you do that?

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Do I want it? I don't know. But that's the thing, bro,
Like I could watch rom coms all day, I could
read a book, I could.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
See.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
That's the concern that I'll like all you know, I'll
be like five hours in and I'll be in a
totally silent, quiet house by myself.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Part of that is good, I agree, you know, and
you get some U time. That's all find the dandy.
But it's not like there's a lot going on in
this town that you can actually go do. You can
sit around your house.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
I guess, well, she's not like me where I enjoy
going out to like dinner by mysel phone.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
No, I was already. Would you do it? Yeah, because
I mean this town it's like a tourist town. So
there's a lot of like restaurants and bars and like
I mean they're nothing to drink.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Oh yeah, New York City.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, No, it's not the I mean it's nothing like
San Diego or whatever. But we're not. It's not just
me and redwood trees. Like there's plenty to do. But
would I have the confidence to go into a restaurant
and be table table for one please, and and sit there?

Speaker 3 (10:18):
I was at Okay, So I was at Island Prime
on Thursday for a Valentine's Day dinner and it was great,
And there was somebody sitting behind my wife and it
was a girl by herself reading a book. And it
was Thursday night before Valentine's Day, and I thought, Okay,
I think whoever she's with probably at the bathroom or something,
and the guy never came. And like, it was a

(10:38):
very big topic of conversation to me and my wife
that this girl by herself at a fancy restaurant like
Island Prime two days before Valentine's Day reading a book.
I felt like ballsy move and like, also, why come
to Island? And then like and then like I didn't
feel bad because I'm like, oh, maybe she just wants

(11:00):
a long time.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
But like, I would have no thought if it was
a you know, small restaurant in a coastal Oregon. Yeah,
one person, it wouldn't say, you high end steakhouses a
little while to go, yeah, vacation.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Maybe she was a solo vacation.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
I definitely was like, huh, so you might get a
couple of hawns.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Walking Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Walk in and sweats and uggs, and people are gonna
be like not in coastal.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Organ No, you have to walk in with a chicken
on your head for people to like like blok twice
with like a mohawk, you know. So I was really
nervous about proposing this to the fa.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
This is really what I want to know about. Did Yeah,
you know we could, we could wrap our heads around this.
Your husband and daughter life without you for a week.
I mean, how would they even operate?

Speaker 3 (11:54):
The skies skies made it so they can't live without her.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, she's made it. You're right, You're right.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
I mean I've been without me before, without it, So
I don't know how they're going to live without her
for five days.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
There's no way they would just be. When you go
to our radio conference every year, it's a it's a
it's a scene.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
There's a lot of will they be able to eat? Well?
They he has, they'll just rub everything. Will they shower? Yes,
they will shower.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Text them he remember you put the soap in your
hand and it spru detailed.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
I know how to take shower.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
You know when you leave your dog with somebody, or
a detailed list of things you know you know you're
going to do that.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
So I was really a list of where everything is, toothbrushes.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
They live in the house, they know where everything is.
So yeah, I was very nervous about telling them, and
to my surprise, because I was really the boo, my
hubby whistle and I was the most concerned about, to
my surprise, because he's done solo organ trips to fix things.
You know. He goes, yeah, it's so peaceful and it's

(13:00):
so amazing, and it just it just kind of like
reinvigorates you and blah blah, and I'm like, oh my god,
Like I didn't want to blink because I'm like, what's
going on. This is not the reaction I expected. And
he was super supportive.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
What does need I mean before we go on, before.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
We go on, yes, stay at home father for the.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
House orates you.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
So I was shocked by this reaction. I was like, wow,
he's supporting this decision, like this is amazing, and that
it was about three days ago where because I we
looped the daughter in about three days ago, he started
saying she's old enough to stay alone. I'll go with you.

(13:57):
And now he's trying to get in on my solo vacation.
Like I was so like stoked, like, oh my god.
He supports me and cares about my mental health and
me having this special time for myself. And now for
the last three days, multiple times a day, he keeps
dropping comments of like, well, your mom could come down
and then you and I could, and then we could

(14:20):
That's not a solo vacation.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Bro, I would This is tricky because you guys don't
do couples vacations. So part of me goes, you kind
of need that time too. But if your head spaces,
I want this solo time for me, blah blah blah. Yeah,
because of your self help book or whatever. That's fine,

(14:44):
but then you need to at some point carve out
time for a couple teo both at some point. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
I mean, I wasn't gonna go because, like I said,
you know, we'll be off for the week. So I
was maybe gonna go for four days and then come
back and then maybe me and the hubby.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
I'm saying just in this week. I'm just saying overall.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
But I have the time. Yeah, but I was thinking
would come back, maybe do a Saquan night just me
and the hobby, something like that. But no, he wants
all in on my solo vacation.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Says no, hell no, vigorous. Did you not hear about
that something else? Well, we'll see if this happens there
out Anybody got a feeling that this is not going
to happen. Neither not gonna.
