Spring Break Has Sprung!

I'm on vacation! Sort of... I'll still work my shifts at Job # 2 but I will sleep in everyday that I am able. Gonna spend some quality time with the wife and kid. We're gonna hit up the season opener at the Bowie Baysox with our family. Bert & Stephanie are in town from Chicago so we'll get to spend some time with them. Oh, and our taxes! We always seem to wait until the last minute on our taxes so we'll be trying to get those out of the way this week. This will probably not be the most exciting Spring Break ever but I will try to make the most of it.

If you look back at my Spring Break posts from last year you will see that Sara and I drove down to Asheville, NC to visit friends and enjoy the mountains. What you won't glean from those posts is that Sara and I were trying, at the time, to wrap our heads around the fact that we were soon going to be parents. We spent the whole time away wondering what life was going to be like when we came home and reality set in. It all seems like so long ago.

If you go back even further - go back to Spring Break of 2008 - you will see pictures from our adventures in Northern California. We spent our Honeymoon in San Francisco, exploring the city, and up in a cabin in Boonville, compliments of my Aunt & Uncle (Thank You Very Much!). We walked around the city, ate good food, road the ferry to Tiburon, drove into the mountains, drank good wine, and enjoyed the countryside. It was a fabulous time!

This Spring Break will be spent locally, and much of the time will be spent on little mundane tasks. There will be no great adventures. No travels. No escape from our everyday. Sometimes a vacation is just a slowing down of our chaotic existences.
