Despite the fact that we stayed up until the wee hours of the morning playing cards, we woke up this morning, cleaned up the cabin and began our trek back home to Alabama. Overall the trip to the mountains was an amazing time. This trip was filled with many adventures and spectacular views. Nothing can beat a respite away from reality with good friends. We stopped by to visit grandma today, had lunch, and continued on our way back home.
Now that I am home, I wish I was still up in the mountains. With beautiful scenery all around, it made even doing work-related things great. Even though I told people I was on vacation, I can never take a real vacation from work. With our Team Focus summer leadership camp less than a month away, there is much to do to get ready, and I find it difficult not to at least accomplish something work-related to make sure we are ready for this camp.
So in a way, this trip to the mountains was a warm-up vacation. Due to my own OCD I was unable to escape work, however, my dad and I are about to fly out to the west coast for a serious vacation. I will do my best to blog, however, the point of a vacation is to escape and relax. I think our trip to Alaska and Seattle will be a great opportunity for the two of us to do just that. However, in the back of my mind I know that when we get back, I've got to hit the ground running to make sure our summer camp runs smoothly. But for now it is an opportunity for Dad and me to get away and enjoy the real last American frontier – Alaska. For now it is back to reality, at least for a short while.
