what was great about vacation

1. location - smack dab in the middle of fish creek

2. weather - hot, sunny, and some rain just to mix things up

3. unexpected pleasures - scoring a bike trailer in great condition at a resale shop, a tractor show with a sweet little arts/crafts fair, bowling in an alley where we had to keep our own score, 10 pm happy hour a block away, cable tv (!!!)

4. expected pleasures - lots of great beach time, PC Junction, lots of laughs, euchre and dirty clubs, easy meals, people watching, juicy reading materials

5. lodging - old house with tons of bedrooms and a lovely front porch. "if you stayed here, you'd be home by now!"

what was not so great about vacation

1. having it end

2. saying goodbye to our far flung family members.

Perfect week.
