Fall, I am not sure about the rest of you, well actually I am kind of sure, because it appears the blog world is full of Fall Worshipers……Now, I am trying not to say that like its a bad thing. but for me Fall is great for September maybe October, then the leaves all have fallen the temperatures are cold and I start thinking VACATION BABY..Kent and I are extremely fortunate, 6 weeks of vacation, 12 stat days, Christmas off and a few personal/stress/other days off..plus and extra day every three weeks, ( yea sucks to be unionized…) so you get where I am going here right? Yea, we like to travel and go to fun places and in general just experience life. Not trying to gloat ( ok well maybe a little but not to much) but I have lived a full life, paid my dues and now we are in that time of life to have fun….Blogtober is really making me reflect back on life, today’s topic Best or Worst Vacation… not sure I have a worst, at least not n recent memory so I will try and reflect on best.

Sounds a lot easier than it actually is, I mean really in the last 12 months:
October 2013: Poconos and NYC
November New Jersey for Raiders vs Giants and Vegas for 5 days
December Memphis for the Liberty Bowl
Jan week in Miami
Feb Cruise Cozumel, Hondouras, Roatan and Cayman Islands
March No trips but a blog Conference in Ottawa
April Saint John for Easter
May Florida for 10 days, Toronto for two days
June – Jazz Fest
July Bluesfest then Windsor, then Niagara on the lake
August – Toronto for a weekend
September – Poconos for a week


Holy crap and those are just what I remember, normally we also head to Syracuse for a few weekends to catch Hockey or Basketball, add in work trips and we do get to travel a fair bit. For this day though Cancun 2010, out first official all inclusive as a family and made all the more special because Carly was in Merida for school so we all got together.

Lucked in and got upgraded to a three story Villa, thank you Omni Resorts for making this a spectacular vacation, and just check out that Jacuzzi tub. (Warning may be a few pictures)

The boys got to bound over beverages, dinners and excursions, seriously just look at those sad faces.
male bonding
Family dinners, couple time everyday was filled with special memories.

add in the three kids spending quality time together, sometimes reading, sometimes drinking… you know what they say the family that drinks together stays together… or do we just say that????

But alas that was a few years ago and now we are in  October , crisp air, beautiful leaves and a need for tights, booties and sweaters of course.
