What does having a Vacation mean to you?

This is the first family vacation that my wife, son, and I have taken since last year. It's challenging to take a less than 2 year old on vacation with you.

My brother and his family came to visit, so we decided to rent a beach house not too far from where we live. As you can likely see from the picture, this house is extremely family friendly!

So how do I start off the vacation, but with a fever and laid up in bed for 24 hours!! It's better than having Strep Throat, but still not ideal..

Thankfully, I started feeling better somewhat quickly this year (last year was 4 days of 101+ fevers and mild hallucinations from the Strep - fun, right?!?).

Anyway, I love the beach! It has been a really nice vacation so far, despite the unfortunate beginning. I'm finally starting to relax again and it feels pretty great! 🙂
