Vacation

We just got back from vacation. You ever need a vacation from your vacation? We had a great time. Easter at Dad's house. A week at my sisters with a visit to Yosemite. Then an anniversery weekend at a bed and breakfast in the mountains. Nights spent in front of the fireplace or in the jacuzzi spa. A sunset over Bass Lake (almost, we left before the sun made it down). An 8 mile hike in Mariposa Grove. I highly recommend anyone who gets the chance to visit the grove do so. Nothing like standing next to the biggest tree on earth. And of course good southern Barbeque and an incredible Steak house.

As for Yosemite. I love it, it's beautiful, however, it has become way too commercialized. Too many people.

But now I'm home and glad of it. My last two days of vacation I'm doing absolutely nothing. Just sitting on my butt reading and watching movies. I need the rest. It's good to have my own space, my own bed, my own computer, ect.

Spending over a week with family I reallized something though. God has truly blessed me and my children. I've reallized how much knowledge and understanding and guidance he really gives me. I've been reminded what a lack of that guidance brings. I have a great deal more appreciation for what I do have and a great deal more concern for my family.
