Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there will it lie

Nat and I finally have returned from our vacation. We spend a week in San Antonio where she’s from and her family lives.

I’m not usually one to take vacations from work but this was one that was definitely needed.

We spent 14 hours on the road to Texas from Florida and were greated by some nice chilly and windy weather. Not quite what I had in mind, but it was just fine with me because I was going to get to relax and chill regardless of the weather.

Nat of course got her shopping on with her mom and we managed to catch up with some old friends and family. Nat’s dad was kind enough to postpone a post fantasy football party until we were able to get in town.

We managed a short trip to Austin where I met with my childhood friend Paul and was able to do some impromptu rock climbing and Nat was able to hang out with her cousin Melissa and meet her boyfriend Will; they drove in to Austin from Dallas to meet up with us.

Due to some traffic problems in Texas and in Louisiana, we got home a little later than we had anticipated (1:30 am) but that’s why I always add a ‘buffer’ day at the end of vacations. Expect the unexpected.

While it’s nice to be back home, it certainly would be nice if our holiday would have lasted a little longer. Maybe next time we’ll take two weeks instead of just one.
