Vacation-o-rama

It's finally here.

We are officially on vacation for the until next Monday and I could not be happier. I've already golfed twice. The last real vacation that I had was right before Josh was born and that is approaching three years ago.

We're hanging out at my parents house in Dayton for the week and then, tomorrow, Heather and I are heading to Las Vegas for a few days.....without the kids. We've never been and so I figured, hey, why not? If we hate it, we are only spending two days there and if it's fun, we found a new weekend getaway spot. We're coming back on Thursday and then just more hanging out at the parents. My sis, Jen, will be here with my new little nephew, Jaden. I haven't got to meet him yet so I'm stoked to finally see him. My bro and Charissa are here too, so we're having a good old fashioned Young family reunion.

I love being at my parents house because it's very relaxing and peaceful and a great place to spend a few days hiding out from the world at large. I dont know if you've ever been to Dayton and it's unlikely that you ever went on purpose but jeeze, there is nothing out here but a golf course and a Smiths grocery store.

So thats about it...we'll see how Vegas goes. I haven't decided how much I'm willing to lose playing blackjack, but I'm going to bet it will be less than $50 cause I can't stand the thought of seeing that money go and not getting anything back for it. Who knows? Maybe I'll win enough to pay for the trip....that would be sweet. Unlikely, but sweet none the less.
