Remember the 1980's? The Go-Go's? Their album and song "Vacation"?
No? Well, then... here you go. My treat.
I've been humming it in my head for days now. And now, so shall you. Don't you love it when that happens? I apologize if you aren't a fan of all-girl bands. Or the 80's.
You'll never convince me you aren't a fan of vacations.
We head out tomorrow. For the last two weeks, at least once daily, Bruce has looked at me with a nearly delirious grin on his face and said, "Have I told you how excited I am about our vacation? I can't wait!"
We don't have two weeks. And we aren't heading to the beach to forget some inconsiderate love interest.
We have one week. Without work. Without school. Without obligations.
We have one week. With the camper. With three pools. With the beach.
Okay, I can't fool you. If you know me, beach vacations aren't really my thing. But I am looking forward to this vacation.
When else do you get to have endless free time with the people you love best?
Stick me and my 10-pound overweight frame in a nudist colony during winter and I'd still be happy as long as my family is with me. I'd be cold. And self-conscious. But I'd still be happy.
I've got to finish packing.
Happy Trails to you!
Oh, one last thing. I've planned a few things to automatically publish in my absence. I hope you enjoy them.
"The LORD replied, 'My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.'"
