I’m not entirely sure how to handle project ten, take an annual vacation/staycation. It’s not a project I can just decide on my own to do this week after all. And we’ve got no plans for any sort of vacation or staycation until this Spring at the earliest.
It’s not that I don’t think they’re important. This has been the first year of our married lives that we haven’t had a vacation of any length. Instead we moved. And had a baby. And went to a family reunion (in-state). And Mr. SJ has traveled back home twice, once in January for his parent’s 40th wedding anniversary (I was way too sick still from pregnancy to travel so I stayed home with the boy). Then again in September for his brother’s wedding (too soon post-delivery for me to be up for traveling that far so I stayed home with both kiddos).
All in all, a strange year for us travel-wise. We can’t really even do much of a staycation because Mr. SJ can’t take any more time off from work because he’s used so much this year already with his travel, two weeks of paternity leave, and additional time off when his family was in town throughout the year.
We do have hopes of traveling south in the Spring to see my family and some baseball games. We’d also like to get back out west to see his family, and we’d love to get there for Thanksgiving next year. Exact plans are still up in the air waiting to see what’s going on with work and our old house.
