I will be taking a vacation starting this wednesday, for a little over a week. This will be my first real vacation in a few years, although working half time most of the time meant that I never accumulated my time off and didn't get as tired as I do now working full time. The kids and I will have some much needed time together, and hope to do some fun things. I have a free pass to Wunderland Nickel arcade , along with 100 free nickels. I hope to take the kids to Oaks Park on the tuesday two for one day, and probably a picnic to bring along. We may go to Bonneville Dam and the fish hatchery. There's a lot to do, and I've got a week left of summer to enjoy it.
