Ok, not a vacation. Actually, we are not calling it a vacation. I've been thinking lately that when we get the opportunity to take a trip, that we are not calling it a vacation, unless it is an actual vacation. Let me explain. As we have stated so many times, we really miss our local public parks and places to go to for the day. We miss being outside and spending time with the kids. In Jamaica, that is just not an option. So, we have to find alternatives. We have tried to be intentional about getting away with the kids. Last Thursday, we had a team that was going on their free day to the falls and then staying overnight in Montego Bay. We decided that we could pack up the kids, get a hotel of our own, and take the opportunity for a get-away. We packed our bags, took the trip down to MoBay with the team, and went to our hotel. We had a great time. Maybe we will call it a "trip to the park" or "get-away," but not a vacation. If we call it a vacation, it means that you cant do it very often, but if we call it a weekend trip, then we can do it regularly. Or, maybe we will try to come up with a creative name for something that looks like a vacation but is really just a necessary get-away for the kids. I don't know, but I do know that it was a great time and we created some awesome memories. Here are some pics.

how about calling it "Family Fun Time"
Don't apologize for wanting to get away!! :)
Glad you have such awesome getaway possibilities. Hmmmm. Pokagon State Park or the falls near MoBay??
I agree with Margo - you need a little more of that family time away! I am so thrilled when you can do that otherwise your work is always in front of your eyes. I only wish we would have been there with you!
Love - Mom K.
