Hola my Blogging Amigas!
I sit here a bit nauseated from an all nighter trip home from Sunny Florida!(BTW, this was much easier to do 15 years ago) I've missed you all, but had a wonderful time. As always though, it's good to be home. We left Lakeland yesterday afternoon around 4:30pm and arrived home around 8am. We've just rested today, and plan to rest more tonight. Tomorrow we'll get back into the swing of our lives.
We had such a nice time and would definitely recommend renting a house while on vacation as opposed to hotels. We shared the house with my Dad and Mom and so it was actually cheaper to stay there than get a hotel. We had a private pool, full kitchen and laundry, so spent a very minimal amount on food. Not to mention having a big house with a private pool and game room was so nice when my brothers and their families came over to visit.
So tomorrow I will have energy and I'll post a photo journal of our week. This is the first week long vacation we have ever taken as a family and our favorite part of the trip was just getting to be together. Our lives are so busy, it is a real treat to just have a whole week with nearly every moment spent together. We kept singing periodically during the week, "We're on vacation!" (everything is a song with us)
Well, I need to at least put a few things away and maybe mow the lawn. Check back tomorrow.

It's SOOOO nice to have you back home! I can hardly wait to see you pics!
Welcome back! Sounds like fun! We negotiated with the kids that rather than a vacation this year, David will build them a tree house. They can spend the summer playing with that and we promised to do lots of fun free/cheap stuff with them like trips to parks, ice cream cones, etc. It's been a fun/relaxing summer so far, but every now and then we long for a trip to Gatlinburg or somewhere away. Oh well, maybe next year:)
Glad you made it back home safely! We missed you, and will see you when we get back home! :-)

Matt and I were just talking about a vacation at home. We think it would be so nice to have a week where Matt stays home and we get things done here at home. Maybe next year we shall see. :)
