Take Time for Yourself

I tricked myself into a vacation!

Vacations take time and money and sometimes it's difficult to coordinate taking a vacation with all of our other responsibilities.

The NSGCD Conference was on Friday and Saturday of this past week. It would have cost me about the same amount of money to fly to St. Louis for the conference as it did to drive here. The drive meant gas, extra hotel nights, lost days of work AND a lot of fun with my colleagugues! We are heading back to the Twin Cities tomorrow morning and today is an entire day having nothing planned. We have decided to sleep in, relax a little, then take a 3 mile walk on this beautiful, sunny (but not too hot) day to St. Charles Main Street to explore. They have a festival in town and it is a historical site on the Lewis and Clark expedition. What a wonderful surprise vacation.
