All I can say is that the last two weeks that I had off from work for a vacation were wonderful.  There is nothing quite like sitting on a beach, drinking iced tea and enjoying nature.  It was the first vacation that we have took in the last three years, and it was a very much deserved break.

The reason that we haven’t gone on vacation for the past three years is that we started up a store that sold Mercruiser Parts and OMC parts in town.  It had always been a dream of mine, and when we had the opportunity, we took it.

But the first few years of business were a little slower than I had expected and since the summers those years were cool, sales were not as good as we had hoped.  In order to cut down on costs, we decided that I would work at the store five days a week so that we could save money on wages.  Though it wasn’t entirely what I had thought my role would be, I knew that if we could make it through the bad years that when we made it to a good one, I would get some rewards.

So, that is why we had a vacation to Mexico, which was one of the places on my list of countries that I would like to visit in my lifetime.  I can cross off that one off the list and hopefully we can cross another one off next year.

But, I do have to get back to work today and see how things went.  If they went smoothly in my absence, I just might have to take a vacation in the near future.
