The life lessons just keep coming

"Vacation" is another word that takes on an entirely different definition once you have a child. Before you have kids, vacation means "a relaxing trip away from home." After you have kids, vacation means "A nerve-wracking car/plane ride to yet another place where you will have to make sure your child doesn't seriously injure himself, others, or property. Oh, and if he does happen to mistake that decorative ostrich egg for a ball, promptly super glue it back together and pray that the owner never finds out."

So yeah, this year there was a little less reading by the water and a little more making sure kid doesn't drown in said water, but it was fun nonetheless. At least with a kid there are more photo ops.
