Journal MacBrave's Journal: Back to Work
To me a 'good vacation' means during the period that you are 'off work' at least 50% of said period should be unplanned time. Nothing on the schedule.
It wasn't so for this last vacation.
June 27th-June 30th: Trip to Holiday World. Holiday World is a great little amusement/water park in southern Indiana. There is an adjoining campground, Lake Rudolph, where we shared a cabin with my sister's family. My parents came as well, but they stayed in their 5th wheel camper.
Even though HW is a great place, boy was it crowded! We went on a Monday hoping to avoid some of the crowds but to no avail. The waterpark is especially busy. The kids and I still manager to ride some pretty cool water slides like Zinga and Junger Racer. Also messed around in the wave pool and lazy river. Then we rode a few rides in the park and headed back to the campground for dinner.
After dinner we headed back for some coaster riding. HW has two of the best wooden roller coasters around in The Raven and The Legend. We rode the Raven right at dusk and although a little short was a great ride. With the park due to close in about 10 minutes we got in line for the Legend. This coaster at night in fantastic! Lots of twists, turns, and airtime.
July 1st: Spent most of the day home relaxing, although did get packed and ready for Cub Scout Camp.
July 2nd-3rd: Went to Cub Scout camp with my 7-year old. Had a good time, but we left Saturday night due to rain getting in our tent.
July 4th: Fireworks, what else? Also celebrated Logan's 1st birthday.
July 5th-6th: Spent more time relaxing, although did a few odd jobs around the house and got packed and ready for Webelos Adventure Camp with my older son.
July 7th-10th: Went to Webelos Adventure Camp with my 9-year-old and five other scouts. Had a great time, although by Saturday morning everyone is ready to come home.
July 10th: Ran the video during church. Marched in the county 4-H fair parade with the scouts. In the afternoon went over to the parents to fix a computer problem.
July 11th: Back to work, and a chance to relax!
