The Caps are on vacation. I normally split up the two weeks I have for vacation each year. By April, just after Easter, I am normally ready for a breather – but two weeks away from normality, would probably drive both Kel and I crazy – we both actually thrive on a busy schedule. So, a week away from the press of the schedule is a helpful respite that will allow us a minute to rest and help us rev-up again for the normal busyness. We’ll probably take a second week in August, close to our anniversary.
This is the one week of the two in the year that Kel and I use the time to actually rest. Normally, it takes me a day or two to unwind and allow my mind to come off of a schedule driven mindset, so it’s starting to sink in now.
I plan to read through a few books I’ve been wanting to peruse, eat at a few nice restaurants and most enjoyably, sleep in a few time this week.
Currently, we’re in San Clemente, CA. I’ve never been here before, but am enjoying it immensely. Kel’s grandparents joined us yesterday and took us to a fantastic Italian restaurant downtown. Today, our plan: to chill. We are right off of the coast and the weather could not be more perfect. I could never live this close to the beach – I would never accomplish much, for sitting out on the deck and listening to the waves while cat-napping, drinking a Cherry-coke and doing some light reading.
In the next few days, we’ll see if we can post a few pics from our time away.
