We got back from our summer vacation this past Saturday night. We spent a week in Massachusetts, visiting my family and friends, and then taking a few days with just my wife and kids at the beach. It was probably my best vacation since my honeymoon, 12 years ago.
It had been a while since getting back to Massachusetts. One night we had pizza over one of my high school friend's house. Not all of my old buddies could be there; one's wife was very pregnant; two of them are in the army/reserves, and one was in Colorado with his son at camp. But it was great to catch up with all of the gossip and reconnect after not seeing them for 6 years.
The next night, my sister got the extended family together at her house for dinner. I got to see my niece's two children for the first time, and see some cousins that I hadn't seen for 12 years. And my two children got to see some of their cousins and 2nd cousins for the first time.
Then we spent 3 days at a motel near the beach in Cape Cod. Great weather, plus our kids are at the age (7 and 9), that you can do some really fun things with them -- swim in the ocean, play on the beach, play miniature golf, and go bike riding. Plus they can entertain themselves on the airplanes!
Summer is winding down. (Yikes!) I hope you all had the chance as well to have a vacation, to get away from the daily and weekly to-do's, and have some fun. We need these kinds of fun times to recharge the batteries, and create memories that your whole family can remember and cherish.
