Vacation and family

Dean and I recently took a "vacation" to visit with family in Tennessee. Now most people would not call that a vacation, but why not? When you go on vacation, you get away from your normal routine, and are someplace that isn't home. You do things that you would not normally do, like sight seeing and sleeping late. We did all that with family. It was extremely enjoyable. We live far apart so when we can get together, it's really neat. I also like going on vacation without family. And I have, many times over the years. Now that I am growing older, family is more important to me. Sometimes I think it would have been nice if my sisters would have been with us to see the Grand Canyon, or visit the San Diego Zoo or drive through the Rocky Mountains. We rented motor homes and houseboats with plenty of room for all of us. One of my sisters is gone and I miss her. I still have one sister and plan to do more visiting with her whenever I can. You can't change the past but you can change the future. I plan on having more fun to create lots of wonderful memories to go with the ones I already have.
