What We Do on Vacation.

When we have a little time off from our everyday duties, we like to adopt an alternate version of our life. We think of this as "Everyday Vacationer." We've had quite a few days of vacation recently, and boy have we been taking advantage of our free time...

1. First of all, we enjoy playing games that involve words and snacks. Scrabble fits perfectly into this category because it is a) all about words, and b) slow-paced enough that players can eat between turns.

2. Secondly, we like to hunt. But not for animals, for information. Your father is particularly adept at hunting for information on something known as the "Google." Look at that information-gathering stance. You should be proud.














3. Third, we enjoy playing geometrical games, such as "How Many Adults Can Safely Buckle into One Car?"


and "How Is a Person Like a Christmas Tree?"
4. Another favorite activity is to wear flowing robes and shuffle reading material, as if we were wizards toiling away at paperwork.
5. Finally, we like to just plain eat snacks. Not that I would every recommend snacking as an activity per se, especially with the childhood obesity epidemic raging all around us, but it has proven to be an integral part of our vacation thus far.
