Relax, Relate, Release

by ** Tatiana Caldwell ** on July.29.2008

I’ve just returned from a short but wonderously relaxing vacation with my family in Wisconsin Dells.  We had an awesome suite at a waterpark resort where we all splashed, slid and swam for three days straight. I learned a few important things during this vacation:

  1. A getaway – no matter how brief or how small - is much needed every once in a while to help maintain your sanity (assuming you have some left).
  2. Despite the weightloss craze that seems to be all the rage right now, there are plenty of people out there who are happy and QUITE confident in their skin.  No matter how much (nor how little) of it they have.
  3. My husband is a perv.  And I like it.  (A loveable perv that is, not the scary, creepy kind.)  Okay, so I already knew that, but this trip helped reiterate that fact. 
  4. The husband and I need to take a trip alone every once in a while.  This is directly due to lesson #3. 
  5. A comfortable hotel room is the MOST important part of a vacation.
  6. Both of my young boys have low tolerance for being submerged or even showered with anything other than warm water.
  7. Not only are males of all ages visually fascinated by boobs, so are many women.
  8. I have a family of geeks.  So not only did I take my laptop with me (yes, I did write during my vacation), my husband and our 4-year-old actually spent many hours during this trip just playing video games.  Even the baby who doesn’t even turn 1 until the end of next month knows how to operate an Nintendo DS and will probably be surfing the web in a few months (if the goobered-up keys will still be working by then).
  9. My husband and I are still very much kids at heart.  But that’s all good.  :)

All in all though, I feel refreshed and rejunivated and only slightly sad to be back into the regular routine.  Back to work! *cracks a whip at myself*
