Mutual Vacations

For the past five years whenever I've been with my immediate family only half of us have been on vacation.When I'm visiting them my Dad is still working, from home, but full-time.When they visit us Tyson is working. Plus, just being in your home environment keeps you from completely turning off and just enjoying your company.
But last week we were all on vacation at the same time, in the same place. And it was so nice. We all just drank each other in, We took walks on the beach, and sprawled in the living room. Cooked big dinners, and loaded everything into the dishwasher (a luxury for me!). We had days of nothingness, but also took a couple little jaunts. It was possibly a perfect vacation considering the number of people we had, and you know, things can get complicated. But they didn't! Thank you, guys, for all the parts that you played in a great week!
