We are not going to Burning Man this year.
This year is my 2nd time not going since 2001.
And 1st time Dav is not going since 2000.*
1st time not going was hard for me. I could not fathom not going. I was glued to the live cam during that week.
This year, I have sweet Aila who is worth missing any Burning Man. Multiple friend families with kids say they will go next year, so I'm focusing on 2012 as a family blast year. But it's still hard not to be going to the playa, our home, where I breathe and ground myself.
Having met Dav on the playa, married him on the playa, brought Tesla when she was 8 weeks old on the playa, and definitely conceived Aila on the playa, well, it's a bit bewildering that we're not going this year. Although our kids may rebel when they are older, I want us to be a Burner family through and through : )
I love the playa.
* Not necessarily because we had a 2nd baby, mind you. Rather, unfortunately, more work-related.
