This is the first year I've taken holidays in the summer since working at the law firm. Actually, I think it's the first time I've taken holidays that didn't involve travelling for Christmas or a funeral.
We headed out to Neepawa for a week to spend with Bruce's family. We stayed in our trailer at the campsite. It was really good, but really busy. We hadn't had many plans other than letting the cousins play together (Bruce's brother's family was out there, too). But that didn't seem to matter as everyone else had plans for us. So it felt like we were running from one place to another.
What was especially nice was seeing Delta Beach. Bruce had told me about his memories there as a kid, but it's nothing like seeing the place first hand. Other than the black flies, it was a really good time. We went up one day when everyone was there, and then went back when it was just us. We've been talking that it would be nice, now that we have the trailer, to plan to have summer holidays every year and head out to Manitoba. We had thought about taking two weeks at a time, but after a week Bruce was already ready to be home. There really is no place like home. I could see once we are retired and the kids are grown, it would be nice to have a trailer and just travel different places.
The trip was even worth the extra work piled on my desk when I got back ^-^
