Our vacations have taken on a pattern now that Molly is in elementary school -- 2 weeks at Christmas, 1 week for Spring break, and a few long weekends over the summer. I love it. Every trip seems to come just when you need it, and this Spring break was no exception.
We went down to Florida for a week of what I like to call "active R&R." There's golf, swimming, and tennis ... but also plenty of time for reading, relaxing, and eating. I finished 2 paperback mysteries, so that's about as perfect as it gets from my perspective :)
I was a little worried that Molly would be bored without any other kids, but we managed to schedule a playdate with another little girl in the neighborhood while Jason and I played golf. And, after going all out in the pool every afternoon, it seemed like Molly needed as much chill time as the rest of us (by chill time, I mean time on YouTube kids watching unboxing videos ... we were relaxing, what can I say?). She also got a kick out of playing with my "old fashioned" Barbie clothes from the 80s (one-shouldered Dynasty dresses, parachute pants, and backless tuxedo tops, ha!).
We also had good family time, playing board games and hanging out on the back porch before dinner. It got me feeling ready for summer ... and retirement. Only approximately 19 more years until I can turn "active R&R" into a permanent lifestyle :)
