Normally, what we did twice a year, all of the years we taught, was to head two hours up Highway 101 to Eureka (EUREKA!) where we would collapse in a dive of a motel for three days/nights to just wander this "metropolis" of thirty thousand people. Eureka even has a mall. No purpose, except maybe grocery shopping, or logistical errands that could be attended to incrementally.

All those other things you mentioned might be nice (visiting the 'rents, hanging in Seattle, collecting the college kids) but hey are NOT vacations. They are more obligations or convenient escapes. A vacation is a time to breathe and not be obligated to do or be anywhere. It does not have to be far away or expensive - just full of unallocated time. How hard it it for you to get time off work? What if you and the little mister took a getaway to someplace within two hours of where you live? Just to breathe..... sounds great to me.Graciewildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142582724233027386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790267042141485205.post-41225937277336971162012-01-17T17:00:34.016-08:002012-01-17T17:00:34.016-08:00I'm currently putting our vacation from summer...I'm currently putting our vacation from summer 2010 in a scrapbook, and I am overwhelmed with the urge to go!

Once a year I get to go out and see my sister and mom for a week. I don't do anything I don't want to do. Most nights we just sit and read or do word puzzles. We all read different books or do different puzzles. If one of us thinks of something to say, we say it. Other times it's quiet. One by one we drift off to bed. It's heaven. Pat does that for me. He stays with the dog and my son who is still in school and Tiff.Tamera Brosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936689822460368906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790267042141485205.post-15079471063449870632012-01-17T08:20:50.123-08:002012-01-17T08:20:50.123-08:00When It storms and snows around here, I'm read...When It storms and snows around here, I'm ready to Flee this town too.
