Sometimes it's hard to come home...

Ok, I'll be honest - most of the time it's hard to come home. I LOVE MY VACATIONS. It always blows me away when people either say they don't really take family vacations or they're so happy to come home at the end of them. I love my home, but vacations are a slice of heaven for me. Andrew is around 24/7 & we get to visit places and play with our kids all day long. What could be better???

Our most recent trip was to Florida. Swimming in the pool, spending time with my mom and dad, going to the beach, swimming some more, hiking in Big Cypress Preserve - and seeing a boatload of alligators :), going on a fantastic boat ride with friends where every kid caught at least one fish, playing mini-golf and eating out at some fun restaurants.

Makes me wish I was back there. Yet, if I was actually in Florida all the time, it wouldn't be vacation - Andrew would have to work and we couldn't just spend everyday at the pool or other fun places.

So, today while I listen to Lucas whine about doing math (again), I get to work on being content where I am...and look forward to our next trip :)
