The bad side of vacation....

So a very special time of summer is upon us.....a time we all look forward to with slight bit of caution because of the unknown..sound dramatic enough? Good! That was the point!

In case you couldn't guess by my quite obvious...or...not so obvious clues...this time is VACATION!

You look to it with so much excitement, counting down the days as soon as you get close enough...but then something happens....

You have to PACK. Packing could very well be the worst part of vacation [next to UNPACKING of course]. You have to make sure you have everything, and enough of everything for every day you will be there, and usually more because you know the inevitable and unlikely accident WILL happen...you know. You'll rip a shirt, this shirt gets a huge stain on it, you sit on a newly painted bench? Exactly. So you end up packing MORE then necessary and then wondering why you're suitcase is SO incredibly heavy. But no matter how many times after lugging a huge suitcase into a car you stop and say, "Next time, I'm packing LIGHT.", you never actually succeed in packing lighter the next time.

So then you get to your vacation location, say the beach. You get all the way to the beach with your HUGE suitcase full mostly of things that aren't necessary and you realize something....YOU FORGOT [insert very important item here]!! Say it's your toothbrush, your reservation confirmation, your checkbook/credit card to PAY for the room. Hopefully it's just your toothbrush though, right? Cause you can just run to the closest food store, Walmart, etc. But then you have to buy another toothbrush when you have a perfectly good toothbrush sitting at home! Oy okay you can get over that right? Of course. A toothbrush costs what? $2?

So you continue on your vacation. You're having a wonderful time :)

Then just as you think ahh I could stay here forever, the end of your vacation pops up almost saying to you "HAHA SUCKER" and you want to curl up like a little kid playing hide and seek and not leave JUST YET. But all good things must come to an end, right?

So you pack up your suitcase [which is now even heavier because of things you bought while you were on vacation] and pack up the car and head home.

Now, I could say how you always get home and realize your missing something, but that only happens if you don't SCOWER the room before you leave...oh wait.. you say you didn't? I'd go check your suitcase.

Haha okay but in all seriousness. Vacation is the one thing that most everyone looks forward to during the summer and no matter how many things may go wrong, you always come out of it with memories to last a lifetime.

Hope you're all having an awesome summer!

Peace. Love. Blog.
