Vacation

For the first time in five years, I am taking a full week of vacation beginning next Monday. Due to the holiday for 4th of July, I will be away from my office for 10 full days. I am elated. I am looking forward to spending the first weekend and a few days early in the week just relaxing, spending time with Dylan, and getting to work on some household projects I have been procrastinating on for months (some even years).
After my stay-cation, we will be travelling to Oklahoma to spend July 4th weekend with the family. It will be our first rode trip in the Denali and the first time I have seen my sister-in-law, brothers-in-law and niece and nephew in over a year. I miss them terribly and can't wait to spend a few days sweating together.
Jason and I have been discussing taking an actual vacation in August. Dylan wants to go to the beach, Jason wants to go to Disney World (okay, 'want' may be an overstatement), I want to do anything that is a first for us as a family and either qualify. We have spent the last many years paying off debt and saving up money and haven't travelled much at all. Dylan hasn't been on a plane since he was one. It isn't important where we go, or how far away it is, just being together and making memories.....the good stuff.
I hope everyone reading this is having a good summer and is able to spend quality time with the ones they care about, whether at home or on vacation. Happy Summer Solstice!
