The Art of the Vacation

It's funny that when you go on vacation, especially with family, how many things people can suggest for you to do. Which leads me to the question, "What is the point of going on a vacation?" I always thought it is was to rest, recuperate and rejuvenate. But, most people think it is to spend the most money while enjoying yourself the least.

For me, if I am visiting my family, the point is to get to know each other again and catch up.

So, here I am on vacation, enjoying my family.

My two youngest children really enjoyed chasing a leaf down a little stream with the cousins. Did I get a picture? Of course not. I'm on vacation. In the town of Aspen, Colorado there is a sidewalk fountain that changes height. No charge for maximum fun. One hour of dodging water, memories for a lifetime. Did we get pictures? Yes.

So, my vacation is going fine. My family is having a good time. That's what it's all about.
