So tomorrow is the first day of the first vacation that landisdad and I have taken in the last three years. Whoo-hooo! Two years ago, I was about to go on maternity leave, and didn't feel like I could take a vacation before that. Last year, I worked on the presidential election, and didn't have the time to take vacation. This year, I insisted on it.

We're not going away, we're just staying home and doing day trips and spending time with our kids. It seemed like a big hassle to try to go out of town, involving either a spectacularly long car trip or flying with the SP, which is daunting. Next year, we'll aim higher.

I'm looking forward to spending down time with my kids, and with going places with them. We'll be treating our city like tourists, and doing the kinds of things that you never do when you live in a place. And I'll be trying to kick my blog addiction, which has grown out of control this week.

So have a great week--I'll have a special announcement for you all when I get back!
