From time to time, I get almost envious of the folks who work at “real jobs” who get vacations. Working from home has it’s benefits and it’s drawbacks, and one of those drawbacks is that you squeeze downtime in when you can – and it’s typically not when you want it.
The chance to take a couple weeks off and go camping is quite rare – we try to live a laid-back lifestyle but any more than a couple days off is pushing it. We’ve been trying to organize a camping trip for three years now and it just isn’t happening yet (this summer’s quickly running out as well).
A part of me wouldn’t mind spending a week surfing at the Carolina Outer Banks, but I’m not sure anyone else in the family would enjoy that as much as I would.
I know for a fact I’d be about the only one enjoying a good mountain hike, but tragically Indiana’s pretty unequipped when it comes to that anyway.
Shoot, we’ve been talking about going out for a day-trip barbecue to Ohio for nearly a year now and it still hasn’t happened.
