We have returned home from our trip with Traci's family to Oceanside, California. No one got disowned or divorced and everyone is still speaking. It was a successful vacation.
The trip was pretty relaxed. We stayed in a 3-bedroom condo right on the beach. Drew tried to keep the planning to a minimum, which was nice. We spent most of our time just hanging out on the beach or at the pool.
Despite the usual hang-ups of family vacation, the trip went smoothly. For example, Traci got mad at Tim and told him to "stop thinking that he knows everything" and he told her to "go play in traffic." There were a few near misses like Jillian's bladder almost exploding before we got to a gas station bathroom, Traci's two pair of missing sunglasses and both rental cars getting all scraped up.
Despite any struggles, at the end of the day--both figuratively and literally--we all sleep soundly. For Tim and Jillian that meant cell phones lying next to their heads and having sweet dreams of text messaging. For Traci and me it meant enjoying time away from the daily grind. It was nice to be away and now it's back to the working man blues
