A True Vacation

Labor day weekend came up on us bearing a gift more rare than a short line for Space Mountain (it was the first reference I could muster, yes I'm a major nerd): the elusive Three Day Weekend! After the rejoicing subsided the question was raised, "Vacation?" Isn't the reply obvious?



We'd been craving a real vacation for some time- whether it be camping, visiting family, or what-have-you, but had simply been lacking in time with Joseph's work at the bank. So without further ado, we hopped on the internet and booked a hotel for our favorite beach location in SoCal- Laguna. The week-day vacation slashed prices for us, any further worries were eased Joseph received a bonus from USBank (which he hasn't worked at for the last six months). It seemed that the universe was on our side!


We enjoyed a day hopping around tide pools playing with little hermit crabs, eating South African seafood (slightly disappointed to be seated by a very drunk, very loud party) and Italian gelato, and relaxing in the hotel spa and heated pool (the day was too cool and windy for the beach). It was amazing to finally enjoy a vacation as a (tiny) family, even if it was in minature.

On a slightly different note, my sister, Krisale, had her daughter. My first blood-relation niece is named Brialle, and she is such a cutie.



Am I right or am I right?
