Back from Vacation in the D.R.!!

Well, we made it back from the D.R. It ended up being a very eventful trip. The roads there are worse than Detroit's in the winter as we found out. The bus drivers race through narrow streets just missing the buildings and motorcycles. There were no traffic lights or stop signs, apparently they are not needed!?
The drivers explained that they drive "nice and crazy, but you do not see any accidents".

Vamos!! Hope you enjoy the pics. The Zip Line and Horseback riding was really a lot of fun.

The Best Part: being together and an extraordinary pool!

Summer vacation... what to do, where to go?

Saw the price of gas this morning at $2.99/gallon and almost dusted off the bike to ride to work today!!

I was trying to explain the law of supply and demand to my son last week and even in his 11y world - the ever increasing price of gas didn't make sense! He declared that it was time to come up with something else. Smart boy. I explained that there were people already working on that and he wanted to know when they were going to find it. Good question!

But nonetheless, we are still planning to "get away" a bit this summer. Looks like a cruise in a houseboat on the Cumberland River is the family plan this year. Kids can't wait. They are already claiming in-the-wall bunks and planning their necessary gear to take along. They're wondering how their going to pack their Wi and still have room for games, books, and toys! I haven't really broke it to them yet, but the electronics are staying home to rest. Hope the kids survive! :o)

Looking forward to a little R&R. A time to consider priorities again. A time to breathe deeply and fully. Then my list of "choose or lose" may look a little less daunting.

Where are you going this summer?
