Lessons from Vacation

Rainyvacation
We just got back from a week’s vacation here in Maine and didn’t see a truly sunny today until today, at which point we had until 10am to clean the house and checkout.

Luckily because of last-minute planning, the only available pickup all week on our boat rental was mid-afternoon today. Got about five prime hours on the pontoon with the family floating in the sun-dappled lake, walking on sandbars, watching the loons dive for lunch, and throwing back a couple of tall PBRs. Amazing how a strong finish can change the entire experience.

Here’s a few other plusses to the week:

  1. Saved a lot of money on bug spray and suntan lotion.
  2. Greatly improved my jigsaw puzzle skills. At this point they’re now skillz.
  3. Didn’t spend nearly as much on gas for the boat as I thought I would.
  4. Finally saw "Step Up". Now will add "Step Up 2: The Streets" and "Step Up 3: Son of the Streets" to my Netflix queue.
  5. Schooled my four- and six-year-olds in Guess Who? and Littlest Pet Shop Game.
