Looking forward to getting out of town. May try to get tix to home run derby!
Posting here as MIL decided to join us later in the week and my new authentic self will be answering much differently when she says, "I should be helping with meals."!!!! Have mercy!

Have a great time on vacation!!! Good luck with MIL and your new authentic self. Hope MIL is a good cook...I would have some menu suggestions ready to whip out when she mentions she should help.
Home run derby would be a blast! I hope you are able to go!

I'm all for authenticity, but ... I wish you the best with MIL. Moms and MILs are different, IMO....

We are headed out on "vacation" too - which involves seeing 2 sets of grandparents (each with their own FOO challenges) and one estranged MIL. 
Ya'll wish me luck.
