Vacation, Vacation, Stay cation?

  With our two week “California Adventure” behind us its time to reflect. Time to remember the thoughtful moments when the family unit wasn’t screaming at one another trying to establish individual supremacy. Time to dream back to the sunny days and sleepless nights inside each and every hotel room as we longed for any kind of schedule. Time to appreciate the meaning of ” free breakfast” knowing all along that the lunch would really cost. Time to assess and reconsider the definition of value, especially when children are involved and maybe next time pay for the more expensive, reliable and even friendlier way to fly.  Most importantly, during all the time together, it’s important to really focus on the moments of negotiated peace when we were a perfect example of a loving American family who cares about one another, loves one another and would help one another if and only if the electronics weren’t  all on low battery, the vending machines weren’t all broke and we weren’t waiting for a 4 hour bargain basement “crop duster like plane”  delayed flight home…. 

Vacations, another word for Chaos….
