What I Did On My (end of) Summer Vacation

I have just returned from a week long vacation to cleanse my palette of the summer workathon.

What did I do? Vacation in Maine? Relax on the Cape? Hike the many trails here in the Berkshires?

Nope.

With the help of my very talented carpenter father, I built a shed for storage with a playhouse for the child on top. Behold!

Here is a view of the shed door side:

Here is the child, surveying her domain from on high:

 

And here she is relaxing with a little light reading:

So there it is. It was fun and exhausting and I feel like I’ve done something with my time.

For my next vacation, however, I’m going somewhere and doing nothing. I swear.

    Yeah, sure, make the rest of us Slacker Dads look bad why don’tcha?

    I’d say my daughter should be jealous of your daughter, but then I realize that playhouse is nicer than some apartments I’ve lived in, and I realize that %$#@, I’m jealous of your daughter. And then I realize how pathetic that is, and I’m filled with self-loathing.

    So bravo, sir. Well done.

    Excellent reading for Morgan. Ethan’s been delving into ‘the Economist’ as of late.

    Oftentimes, men tend to be notorious under-packers on vacation, while women tend to over-pack (“No, honey. We cannot bring an extra suitcase just for your 12 pairs of shoes” sound familiar?) Few people have found the perfect balance– the elusive and difficult to accomplish “just right” packed suitcase. It’s not unobtainable, though. It just takes a little bit of time and planning. Here’s what you need and how to pack for your vacation.Clothing essentials: what to packThere are some basic clothing essentials that you should bring on any summer vacation trip. One good thing to keep in mind while packing is that no one ever gets criticized for being the best dressed person in the room. ,

  4. Individuals of all ages find the magic kingdoms to be a delightful place to make memories for the holidays with their complete family.

    We also went to Busch Gardens during the Christmas Season
    where the admission price was much lower than the regular season
    admission price. A reserved rental house environment leaves not only more room to recoup, but
    also more choices for entertainment.

    Any chance you have plans for this? This is exactly what I was looking to build, but I wasn’t sure how to go about it! Nice work.
