Vacations are an obsolete in the Hasemeyer household. It is rare to find us all gone for a day let alone a week or longer. When even the thought of a vacation crosses our mind instantly the realization of driving anywhere for hours with screaming children, or staying in 3 different hotel rooms with still not enough beds, or just the work that has to be accomplished making it not really a vacation at all, brings this idea of vacation a bitter dream rather than sweet one.
With that said vacation would be a perfect experience if we didn't have to drive too far, there was enough room and if it was an easy going adventure... and this past week thats exactly what vacation was. My family is blessed to be the owners of a timeshare in Carlsbad in which we are given the room once a year. It is right on the beach with a swimming pool and game room and surprisingly enough it's big enough to fit the whole family (with people sleeping on the ground of course!)
Just like any other day at home our days on vacation were eventful with glasses breaking, kids being taken to the emergency room and fights occurring, but that made for a week to remember. But just the idea of finally being on vacation made everything seem that much sweeter. As of now we are all home and back to the reality of waking put early and going to school or work.
This vacation was fun while it lasted... too bad it was only for a week!
