True Vacation

'I love being on vacation and never knowing what day of the week it is'

In May my wife and I will be celebrating our ten year anniversary.  In all those years, we have never gone on a vacation.  We have gone home for vacations and taken weekend trips here and there, but we have never gone somewhere by ourselves.  It just isn't economical for us.  We don't make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.  So we thought that this year we would take a true vacation to celebrate our tenth year of marriage.

We went to Florida!  Nothing fancy and no plans were made with few exceptions.  We bought tickets to a Tigers Spring Training game.  They lost, unfortunately, but it was still cool to see a game this early in the calendar year.  We also made a plan to spend an afternoon at a beach.  And we went to Coco Beach.  It was overcast and not the greatest day to go, but I did step into the Atlantic Ocean for the first time.  The last thing we had concrete plans for was visiting some family. 

Three things we had on our vacation planned.  The rest of the time there were no solid plans.  That is the whole point of a vacation is it not?  To relax.  We stayed up late.  We slept in.  We spent time by the pool.  Drank overpriced mediocre drinks.  All that fun stuff.  It.  Was.  EVERYTHING!  Because it was something we don't do on a regular basis, it felt indulgent.  Maybe in another ten years we will find another place to laze around, but for the near future we will just go home for vacations.  Which is still great.
